Oplinger-Hower American Legion Post 899 of Lehigh Township launched a Hometown Heroes banner program late last summer to honor our men and women of all branches of the military who served our country, whether in wartime or peace. The banners honor both past and present veterans.

The Hometown Heroes banners are a unique way to show our veterans we care about the sacrifices they have made for our country.

All banners are printed on both sides. According to the company, banners are made of heavyweight vinyl, which is extremely durable and holds up well for more than three years. The company supplies high-quality aluminum brackets to mount the banners.

These banners fly year-round, honoring your hero.

To participate in this program, you will need to fill out a form that lists the first and last name, branch of service, what era, status (KIA/POW/MIA) or medals (Purple Heart/Silver Star/ Bronze Star). Provide a photo for the banner.

The forms are available at Post 899, 1140 Municipal Road, Walnutport.

Eighty-six more banners, the second phase, are being installed by the township road crew throughout the township to show our veterans we appreciate their service. More than 100 banners are already posted on poles throughout Lehigh Township.

Applications for the third phase of the program are being accepted. Memorial Day is next month, and now is a good time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you to all who have already responded and all who have helped to promote this program.

For additional information, contact Jeff Weidner at 484-426-8639 or the Post at 610-767-2393.
