WALKER, Mich. — Monday is Veterans Day. It's a time for all of us to honor those who served to defend our country.
In Kent County alone, there are about 40,000 veterans.
This year 13 ON YOUR SIDE is partnering with the Kent County Veteran Services to recognize veterans and bring attention to the many free services available to them.
Several programs are paid for with money from a voter-approved millage and include assistance with housing food, and health services—including acupuncture.
As part of Operation Greenlight, the 13 ON YOUR SIDE Weatherball will be lit green on Veterans Day with other Kent County landmarks.
You're invited to use a green porch light to show your support.
If you would like more information about free veteran services, head over to the Kent County Veteran Services website.
