MILITARY BANNER PROGRAM

Recognizing and remembering the sacrifices our local
heroes make on a daily basis is extremely important to our
City. This year, over 80 banners were hung at designated
locations throughout the City on the !=ourth of July, Veterans
Day and Memorial Day as a part of the Hometown Heroes
Military Banner program. The f-lometown f-leroes website
was also updated with digital banners, and engraved bricks
were added to the Veterans f-listorical Plaza as another way
for community members to recognize loved ones for their
service. !=or more information about the f-lometown f-leroes

community members stamped into City sidewalks as part of
