The program is to honor the men and women from this community who have served or are currently serving our Country in a branch of the military. This year we were able to purchase 69 banners.
Each unique banner includes the service member’s picture and branch of service. The banners are 24″ wide and 44″ tall and could include the Era of Service at the bottom.
The banners will be re-displayed the following year and is planned for Memorial Day to Veterans Day.
We encourage you to visit Historic Mount Airy and to see the Heroes banners proudly displayed.
