As Veterans Day approaches on Friday, Nov. 11, Montgomery County has joined the national “Operation Green Light” salute to veterans and the County’s Commission on Veterans Affairs is seeking additions to its virtual tribute to County veterans.
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich and the County Council are supporting Operation Green Light, a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties to honor those who have made immeasurable sacrifices to preserve freedom. The program asks for displays of a green light, from Nov. 7-13, in a window of businesses or residences to honor veterans.
Per Montgomery County: After hurricanes with large-scale floods—such as happened in Florida recently with Hurricane Ian—flood-damaged vehicles often end up at salvage auctions and bought by rebuilders. The vehicles should be marked as “salvage” or “total-loss” on the title, but every year, thousands of severely water-damaged vehicles are resold to unsuspecting consumers—often in different market areas. The Montgomery County Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) is warning local residents seeking to buy a used vehicle that they should take precautionary steps to avoid unknowingly purchasing one.
The Office of Consumer Protection says unscrupulous sellers know how to “wash” the titles and hide the damage. However, the damage caused by water will eventually impact the life of the vehicle. OCP recently added to its staff automotive specialist Dave Elswick. Elswick, an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)-certified investigator with 17 years of automotive technician experience. The ASE certification covers 28 areas of expertise and three master designations. He is available to help residents who think they might be buying, or have bought, a vehicle that was water damaged.

Residents are asked to pile leaves near the street, but off the road. They should avoid placing leaves on road shoulders, bike lanes and rain gardens as leaves in these areas can disrupt traffic, negatively impact stormwater drainage, hamper snow removal operations and become a fire hazard for automobiles parked over them. Leaf piles also limit the availability of residential parking and, especially when wet, can pose a hazard for cyclists and pedestrians. Since 1983, the County has been composting the leaves it collects at a County-operated facility in Dickerson. The compost produces a fertilizer called Leafgro, which is sold in retail stores.
“This program keeps fall leaves out of our storm drains and uses them for compost,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “This valuable service helps our neighborhoods and provides a great product.”
The County continues to provide free N-95 masks and rapid test kits at multiple locations.
