It's Time To Use All Green Porch Lights Montana

If you drove past houses in Montana over the last couple of weeks and noticed their green porch lights illuminating their houses, chances are they weren't put in there for trick or treaters.

No, these green porch lights are for another group of people that, during the month of November, are remembered and celebrated by all Americans.

What Do The Green Porch Lights Mean?

You may have noticed those green porch lights in months prior to and after November but never knew the meaning behind them.

According to LightBulbs.com, those green porch lights are "almost always put up as a sign of appreciation and support for U.S. veterans."

Some people will only replace them on November 11th, Veterans Day, but some Montana residents will leave them in all year round. But they aren't the only colored lights spreading awareness under the Big Sky.
