WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) – The Wichita County Courthouse will have a strange look next week. The exterior of the building will be illuminated with green lights, signaling awareness of veterans and the struggles they face.

Joel Jimenez, commander of the local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans and a veteran himself, said it makes a difference for veterans to know they are not forgotten.

“It makes them proud once again that somebody loves them and somebody cares that they served this great nation, especially this great state of Texas and this great county that we live in,” Jimenez said.

Also, anyone in the community can participate in the operation by using green bulbs outside the houses.
