Military Street Banners
As a way to recognize those who have served in our armed forces, the Town of Union Bridge is proud to honor our veterans annually by posting “We Proudly Honor” banners through our Main Street corridor. 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 $105.00, an application must be completed. You can obtain an application at the town office during normal business hours OR click on the banner image above, print it out and bring it to the town office.
