Hometown Hero Banner Program

Many towns and villages throughout the state have taken the opportunity to thank the servicemen and servicewomen who served in the US Armed Forces by displaying  banners with their  photos.  These banners are purchased by their families or friends and will be prominently displayed at the Pendleton Town Hall campus. 

Requirements

All service men and women must meet these requirements:

1.       Have resided or owned a business within the town
limits of Pendleton, New York presently or at some point in their lifetime.

2.      Did serve or are serving our country in the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, Marines or Navy, active or reserves.

3.      Must be serving currently, or be an honorably discharged veteran, MIA, or died in the line of duty.

Banner Information

The banners are 24” by 36”, made from heavy  duty, weather resistant material and will include  the following factual  information:  Name and  photo of the  serviceman/woman; branch of service; era of  service and sponsor’s  names.  A banner is  currently on display at the  Town Hall.  Each  banner will cost the  sponsor, family or friend a  total of $150.  This includes the banner and  hardware for hanging.  The banner is the property of the family and can be  returned to them if requested. 

Banner Photo

You will supply the photo of the veteran in uniform that you wish to appear  on the banner.  Pictures  will be scanned and  returned to you once the  banner is approved.   Please attach a self- addressed envelope to return the photo to you.   Also, please make sure to sign the photo release on  the application so we can  use the photo for publicity  purposes if  necessary. 

Sponsorship/Donations

For individuals or  businesses who would like  to be a sponsor  without purchasing a banner, monetary donations will be used for  expenses beyond the cost of the banners and hardware.  Anyone may become a sponsor by  making a personal  monetary donation.  This  would be any business or  individual who would like  to make a general  donation towards the  Banner Program.  Banner  Application Forms are  available at Town Hall.   

Please mail completed  application, picture, and  check made payable to  Pendleton Veterans’ Association (include the Veterans name in memo area of check) to:
