The #LightItBlue salute for healthcare workers and first responders has touched many of them. The campaign is a way to thank our medical professionals who are working selflessly to protect the rest of us.
From the Omni and Reunion Tower to The Star in Frisco, DFW was awash in blue Thursday night to thank medical professionals and essential workers on the front lines fighting COVID-19.
People snapped photos and shared messages of gratitude and heartfelt messages for healthcare heroes.
The effort was first created in late March in the United Kingdom where major landmarks were lit throughout the country to support their health care providers.
