(Guadalupe County) – Guadalupe County is going green.
Guadalupe County is once again honoring those who have served through its participation in the national campaign Operation Green Light for Veterans — a movement dedicated to recognizing and supporting veterans across the country.
In partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, the county is joining communities nationwide in lighting up key buildings in green this Veterans Day. The glowing tribute can be seen at the historic County Courthouse, Veterans Outreach Center, Elections Administration Office, Development Center, and Schertz Service Center.
According to county records, 21,087 veterans from Guadalupe County accessed benefits and resources in 2024 aimed at improving their quality of life. These services included compensation, pension, education, and vocational rehabilitation assistance through the Veterans Administration (VA).
Officials say the county’s continued efforts help veterans and their families secure housing, pursue higher education, start new careers, and maintain physical and mental well-being.
To continue that spirit of support, the Guadalupe County Veterans Outreach Center will host an Open House for Veterans on Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 205 E. Weinert Street in Seguin. Veterans are invited to stop by for camaraderie, information, and access to resources. Officials say the center provides a welcoming space for veterans “to connect, share experiences, and learn about programs available to them.”
Regular hours at the Veterans Outreach Center are Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with educational sessions offered throughout the month. They may also contact the center at (830) 303-8870.
As a reminder, Guadalupe County offices are closed today in observance of Veterans Day.
