In partnership with American Legion Bunt-Brewer Post 165, and support from the Villages of Tannersville, Hunter, Town Historian Dede Thorpe, and additional support from the Greene County Legislature, we are proud to sponsor the Hometown Heroes Veterans Banner Program.

This program is a living tribute to the service men and women from the Town who served our Country. Each individual banner will recognize and honor a specific member of the Armed Forces. It will include their image, name, branch of service, and dates of service. The veteran must have been Honorably Discharged and lived or currently resides in the Town Hunter.

The banners will be on display prior to Memorial Day through Veterans Day (November 11), in the Town of Hunter along the main roads.

Deadline: February 28th 2024

• Each individual banner will be unique and honor a specific former or present resident who served in the Armed Forces. It will include their photo with name, branch of service, and if applicable, non-combat or military conflict in which they served.
• The banners will be 24 x 48 inches and be in full color.
• The deadline to mail in the application, payment, and picture is February 28th. Please write your name, address, and phone number on the back of your picture. If requested, your picture will be returned to you when the order is filled. (Help save the American Legion the expense of returning photo by sending a digital copy or original copy).
• The price of the banner is $135. A visual inspection will be performed yearly to determine if replacement is necessary. The sponsor is responsible for replacement.
• *Qualifications needed with the application of the banner:
  • Proof of service in the United States Armed Forces (DD 214, Awards, Government ID)
