"We Proudly Honor"

These banners allow our community and visitors to our town, see how proud we are of our communities men and women who have served all of our nation’s military service branches. The banners are placed on either our decorative light poles or telephone poles along Main Street from the middle of May to the middle of November. We offer the opportunity for family and friends to publicly honor veterans (alive or deceased) that have served our country in its times of need.
To obtain a banner at a cost of $110.00, an application must be completed which can be obtained at the town office during normal business hours. A copy of the service member's DD214 must be provided as proof of service as well as a clear photo of the service member.
