Veterans Day -> Memorial Day Green Light a Vet Program

A green porch light is a symbol of appreciation for US military veterans. Though some people may leave a green porch light on year round to express their support, many choose to use this colored bulb around Veteran's Day, which is celebrated on November 11th and Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May.

Today's presentation by Mr. Brendan O'Donoghue from ICON technologies was very informative and exciting! ICON is working is 3 major sectors: Housing, the Department of Defense and NASA.  Their technology is affordable, sustainable and readily available. Not only do they print houses and buildings, but they make their own 3D printers and proprietary materials used in the printing process.
