Oplinger-Hower American Legion Post 899, of Lehigh Township, recently launched a Hometown Heroes banner program to honor the men and women who served our country. The veteran must have been a resident of Lehigh Township.

All banners, measuring 30 inches by 60 inches, are printed on both sides. The banners will be installed by the Lehigh Township road crew.

To participate, fill out a form with the veteran’s name, branch of service, era, status and medals. A photo is also requested.

Forms can be picked up at the Post, 1140 Municipal Road, Walnutport. The objective is to have the banners on the poles by Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

Contact Jeff Weidner, Hometown Heroes banner program coordinator, at 484-426-8639 or the Post at 610-767-2393.
