SUMMARY:Silent Watch - WILL YOU STAND?
DESCRIPTION:Raising Mental Health Awareness & Suicide Prevention for Veterans \nApproximately 22 veterans take their life each day. That’s one loss every 65 minutes. \nOn Thursday\, September 10th\, a silent watch will be held from 7AM – 5:30PM in front of the Hancock County Courthouse to show our veterans that we stand with them in their fight against suicide and to show them that they do not have to fight alone. \nA flag draped casket will honorably be carried from the backside of the Hancock County Courthouse to the front sidewalk by veteran and active-duty military and set in place at 7AM. Opening ceremonies will begin promptly with volunteers showing support by standing guard and changing out every 22 minutes. \nThis event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. Hancock County Veteran Service Office will be in attendance with mental health support information. \nThe last stand will take place around 5:20PM with the hosts\, Titus Allen\, Rodney Kramp\, Marcy Bibler\, Leah Cook and Nicole Wagner from Allen-Kramp Wealth Management (AK). AK is hosting this event this year in honor and memory of their late friend\, Gaven Smith (United States Marine Corps)\, and his fellow fallen. \nLearn more at silentwatch.org.

SUMMARY:Operation Green Light for Veterans 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join NA Co\, NACVSO and the Hancock County \nAmerica’s counties have a long and proud history of serving our nation’s veterans\, a legacy that continues to this day as we work with our federal\, state and local partners to ensure that the former service members have access to the resources they need to thrive.   \nPLEASE CONSIDER ILLUMINATING YOUR FRONT PORCH\, OFFICE WINDOW OR BUILDINGS GREEN TO SHOW SUPPORT AND APPRECIATION FOR VETERANS.  AND\, HOPEFULLY THAT GREEN LIGHT WILL INITIATE CONVERSATIONS THAT ALLOW US ALL TO REFER VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO THE HANCOCK COUNTY VETERANS SERVICE OFFICE.  WE LIKE TO MEET WITH VETERANS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS BECAUSE 1) THEIR HEALTH MAY CHANGE\, 2) THE LAWS MAY CHANGE\, AND 3) THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION MAY CHANGE AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS CAN IMPACT THE BENEFITS A VETERAN OR SURVIVING DEPENDENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FROM LOCAL\, STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES. \nOnce again this Veterans Day\, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO) invite the nation’s 3\,069 counties\, parishes\, and boroughs to join Operation Green Light and show support for veterans by lighting our buildings green from November 4-11\, 2025. By shining a green light\, county governments and our residents will let veterans know that they are seen\, appreciated and supported.
