HOMETOWN HEROES

BANNER PROGRAM

The Hometown Hero Banner Program is a tribute to veterans, with connections to Hallam Borough. Banners are displayed on telephone utility poles within the Borough, as living memorials to the men and women from our community who have served our country. This program is non-political and non-partisan.

To qualify, a Veteran, living or deceased, must have had a connection to Hallam Borough.

This unique banner will be 24”x48” heavy vinyl, printed the same on both sides, will display the service person’s photograph, include their full name, branch of the military, and the era of service (WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc.). Banners will be hung the week of Memorial Day 2025 and will be placed at the sole discretion of the Municipality. Applications will be accepted through February 1, 2025.

Each banner requires the Hometown Hero Banner form to be filled out, a photograph of the Hero (preferably in uniform) and a payment of $170.00 for each banner, payable to: Kreutz Creek Valley Lions Club; in the memo, indicate “Hometown Hero.” Photos will be returned once they have been scanned.
