If you drive past the historic Guadalupe County Courthouse this week, look for the green glow. The county is lighting several facilities green through Nov. 11 for Operation Green Light for Veterans, a National Association of Counties effort. The Veterans Outreach Center, Elections Administration Office, Development Center and Schertz Service Center are in too.
