Yesterday, the County Board of Commissioners adopted a proclamation naming Lenoir County a Green Light for Veterans County. From November 4th to the 11th, the Lenoir County Courthouse will be lit green to honor the men and women who have served our country, especially those transitioning from military service back to civilian life.

About 200,000 service members return to civilian communities every year, and that first year can be one of the hardest. A green light is a simple way to show them their community sees them and stands with them.

If you or a veteran you know is struggling, help is available 24/7. Call 988 and press 1, or text 838255 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.

The Board honored Mrs. Branch of La Grange on her 100th birthday and a lifetime of service. She and her late husband ran Branch’s Grocery Store for 52 years, and she made history as the first African American member of the Board of Trustees of Lenoir Memorial Hospital, now UNC Lenoir Hospital. She has also served on the county’s Boards of Elections, Social Services and Health, and was named La Grange Citizen of the Year in 1993. Happy 100th birthday, Mrs. Branch!
