The Hometown Hero Banner Program
The Hometown Hero Banner Program
is a meaningful way for communities to honor and
recognize local military service members, veterans, and first responders.
Through this program,
custom banners featuring an individual’s photo, name, rank, and branch of service are proudly
displayed on street poles throughout
your
town or city. These banners serve as a visible tribute
to the individuals who have served or are currently serving our country and communities, while
also bringing residents together in a shared sense of pride and appreciation.
Hometown Hero
Banner Programs are commonly sponsored by municipalities, veterans’
organizations, or
community groups and offer families a lasting way to celebrate and recognize their local heroes.
These programs can also be funded by individual families and
can even be a great way to raise
funds in a local community.
We have helped to honor thousands of veterans to date and are
ready to hear from you!
What Do We Offer?
Our Hometown Hero Banner Program offerings provide everything communities need to successfully recognize and celebrate their local heroes.
We produce digitally printed, double-sided banners on durable 18 oz. vinyl, designed for long-lasting outdoor display. Standard banner sizes include 18x36”, 24x48”, and 30x60”, with custom sizes available to meet the needs of your streetscape or hardware. Our programs also include high-quality aluminum banner brackets with fiberglass arms, available in black or silver, to ensure secure and professional installations.
Communities can choose from our catalog of proven banner designs or work with our team to develop a fully customized design that reflects their local identity. To simplify the process, we provide customized submission forms for collecting honoree information and photos, and every image is carefully enhanced with expert Photoshop editing to ensure each banner looks its very best.
