Today is Veteran’s Day! A day to honor our Veteran’s.
America’s veteran’s are some of our nation’s bravest and hardest-working men and women.
The Boys, Doodle Dad and I have decided to join the GreenLight a Vet™ campaign to show visible national support for our veterans by changing one light to green…
GREEN is the color of –
- hope
- renewal
- well-being
“Greenlight” is also a term commonly used to activate forward movement.
This simple act of changing one light to green is intended to spark a national conversation regarding the recognition of veterans’ and “greenlight” them forward as valued members of our communities…
250,000 members of our military transition back to civilian life each year. No matter how much respect we hold for our veterans, it’s hard to show it when, out of uniform, they’re more camouflaged than ever. #sadbuttrue
So come on, join Harley & Jax – grab a “greenlight” from Walmart or any store near you and let’s shine a light on our Veteran’s.
It’s not too late #greenlightavet
Thank you Doodle Dad ❤️ and the countless other men and women who fulfilled their patriotic duty to maintain the freedom of our country…

Love this initiative! We need to go out and get a green light asap.

YEA!!!!! Many thanks to you Reagan and your humans on behalf of millions of vets! Have a great weekend 🙂

Brilliant! Love this new initiative …Green is the perfect color!

I love the whole concept. Are you seeing any green lights in your neighborhood?
November 11, 2015
I love this idea and I’m actually getting ready to go shopping so I will look for a green light. Thank you Doodle Dad and all veterans who have served and protected us. We are grateful. 🙂
November 13, 2015
Good for you Elaine!!!! Hope you found your green bulb. Do you see any in your neighborhood?
November 11, 2015
Didn’t know about this! Love it. Will get a green light. Love your photos !!! I just read a great book called No Better Friend about a dog in World War 2 — holy cow what a heroine! Dogs are so wonderful. Thanks for the Veterans Day post. Here’s to the vets! Thank God for them!

Haven’t heard about that book Deirdre. I will have to check it out at Amazon.com – have a great weekend, and thanks for getting your green light!
November 11, 2015
We don’t have a green light, but what a nice idea!
November 13, 2015
Emma, tell your mom they’re at Walmart 🙂
November 11, 2015
I hadn’t heard about the Green light campaign before reading your post but I think it’s a great idea and such a simple way to remember those that have made such huge sacrifices for us. Thank you x

You’re welcome Teresa! I wanted to share once I found out about it – so please pass it on…
November 11, 2015
Very sweet! I’ve never heard of the green light campaign before!
November 13, 2015
DZ – this is a first for me also, so I thought I would share it with you 🙂
November 11, 2015
Thank you Doodle Dad and to all of the others who have or are currently serving. Love the green light idea and the photo of Harley and Jaxson looking through the door with the green light on your porch is adorable!
November 13, 2015
Doodle Dad says “thank you” – he’s touched with the green light on the porch concept (heard him telling someone about it on the phone!) – Happy to hear the photo made you smile 🙂

Nice tribute- thanks to all those who keep us safe
November 13, 2015
Hoping more people start recognizing it and them too Talent Hounds! Have a great weekend.
November 11, 2015
This is the first time that I have heard of this campaign. How ♥ wonderful.
November 13, 2015
Hey MK, I just learned about it this year myself, apparently this movement is trying to remind all of us that we’ve got a ton of vets out there in plain civilian clothes not feeling the love. I like the concept, and I’m interested in watching it catch on. Are you seeing green lights in your neighborhood?
November 11, 2015
Cool campaign! Haven’t heard of it before. Happy Veterans Day!
November 13, 2015
Your welcome Mr. N. – Have a great weekend!
November 11, 2015
I think it is a great idea to honor the veterans whenever possible. They have given a lot for the freedom of others. According to a very sad statistic that my father-in-law told me about, more veterans have committed suicide since 9/11 than active duty troops have died in combat since then. The veterans need our support!
November 13, 2015
I too have read those same sad stories Robin, we’ve got to do more as a country as a person. If burning a green light is a start than I’m okay with that. I am also going to start taking Harley to the Airforce Hospital here in Charleston too. Every little bit counts!
November 11, 2015
Love this idea! Our neighborhood is full of green lights!
November 13, 2015
That is so cool – ours isn’t 🙁 I want to get up enough nerve to buy a dozen green lights and pass them out to my new neighbors #noguts 🙁
November 11, 2015
Thanks for sharing, we hadn’t heard about this until we read your post. Thanks to your Dad! 🙂
November 13, 2015
I’m so happy so many people are finding out about this – my job is done! 🙂 Have a great weekend and thanks so much for hanging out with me and the Boys!
November 12, 2015
Your babies are beautiful! Thank you for sharing and thanks to your Doodle Dad for his service.
November 13, 2015
Hi Lindsay! Thanks so much. I’m enjoying your blog, thanks for visiting us here in Doodleville. Please come back again soon.
November 12, 2015
Love this! Great campaign!
November 13, 2015
Thanks Nicole – go grab your green bulb!
November 12, 2015
This is such a powerful way to show support. I’m off to pick up a bulb!

Good for you Jean! I’m not seeing a whole lot in my neighborhood #surprising but I think if I continue to burn mine, people will ask. Have a great weekend!
November 13, 2015
That’s cool! We’re going to have to go out and get us a green light to show our support. Thank you for sharing!
November 14, 2015
Please do, and let me know how many you see in your neighborhood. I’m discouraged because we live in a development with a heavy population from the nearby Airforce base and I’m still the only one on the block with a green porch light #gofigure Perhaps it’s going to take a while for folks to catch on.
