The Military Hometown Heroes Banner Program is a tribute created for our community to honor fallen service members, veterans, and active-duty service members of the United States Armed Forces. Banners will be displayed on light poles with the veteran’s photo and name on both sides of the banner. Banners will be displayed twice yearly (Memorial Day and Veterans Day). Veterans Day will honor living veterans. Memorial Day will honor veterans we have lost. After two full cycles, the banners will be returned to the sponsor. In November 2022, the first cycle of banners was hung around the fountain at Town Hall.
