Greenlight A Vet, a mission-driven initiative asked Americans to show their support for vets by simply changing one external white light - a key trigger for PTSD, into a green beacon of support for all veterans across every neighborhood.

To kick it off, we ran an anthem spot on Veteran’s Day during the World Series.
A website was launched to invite viewers to pledge their support at Greenlightavet.com
We created special bulbs, 100 of which were sent to influencers.
The simple act of changing a light bulb spread to homes and monuments throughout the country.
The campaign was so inspiring that even Walmart’s competitors joined the cause.
