The Board's year in its own records, read whole. The October 20, 2025 minutes carry "Resolution Supporting Operation Green Light for Veterans": "Veterans Aﬀairs Oﬃcer AJ Spiess presented a resolution in support of Operation Green Light, a national initiative to show support for veterans by lighting buildings green from November 4-11. Spiess explained the program's history and importance, particularly for veterans who did not receive a warm welcome home." The same minutes record the community events his office announced: the Military History Show (Saturday, October 25, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Henderson Oxford Airport), the Military Health and Resource Fair (November 1, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Vance-Granville Community College, "Four counties are invited to participate"), the Creedmoor Veterans Breakfast (8:30 to 10:00 a.m., Willow Oak Room) and the Oxford Veterans Program (Post 90, November 11). The November 3, 2025 agenda carries a "Proclamation Recognizing November 2025 as Veterans and Military Families Appreciation Month", and the November 17, 2025 agenda a "Proclamation Honoring A.J. Spiess, Granville County Veterans Services Officer". The 2026 record continues the story in the office's own personnel: the April 6, 2026 agenda's appointments item "Granville County Veteran's Affairs Committee"; the April 20, 2026 agenda's second "Proclamation Honoring A.J. Spiess, Granville County Veterans Services Officer"; the May 4, 2026 agenda's "Introduction of Veterans Services Director Melissa Purick" and "Recognition of Veteran's Affairs Committee Members"; and the August 3, 2026 agenda's "Granville County Veterans Advisory Committee" item.
