The tradition started as part of a campaign called \u201cGreenlight a Vet,\u201d encouraging people to display a green light as a visible way to honor those who have served their country. The idea is simple: green represents renewal, hope, and gratitude \u2014 a way to say \u201cthank you\u201d to veterans, especially those returning home and adjusting to civilian life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the meaning can also be more personal.
