Student Veterans of America at SCF

Happy 249th Birthday to the U.S. Army

"This We'll Defend" has been our Army's motto since the Revolutionary War. It reminds us that our purpose is timeless and clear: to fight and win our Nation's wars. When our Army hits the dirt, America means business.

Manatee County, Florida Government 1d ·

Manatee County residents and businesses are encouraged to participate in a new national campaign to show support for military Veterans by shining a green light November 7 through 13. This can be either an exterior or interior light that neighbors and passersby see. Renee Medina, Division Manager for Manatee County Veteran Services, hopes this initiative helps Veterans and their families know that they are seen, appreciated and supported. “We want to make sure our Veterans and their families know that their service mattered, that we are grateful for their sacrifices and that it is now our turn to make sure they are served by their county government and our community,” said Medina. For more information about Operation Green Light, please go to

Operation Green Light for Veterans Manatee County buildings will be illuminated green, November 7 through 13, as part of a new national initiative of the National Association of Counties (NACo) to show support for military Veterans.
