The Village of Croton-on-Hudson is proud to offer the Hometown Hero Banner Program to honor and recognize the sacrifice and commitment of those who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. These banners, purchased by friends, families, community organizations, or businesses, are displayed prominently along main roads in the community from Memorial Day through Veterans Day each year.
Banner Pricing
Each banner measures 30"x60" and costs $225, which includes the banner, hardware for hanging, installation, and storage. Banners are displayed annually from Memorial Day to Veterans Day. The banner is the property of the family and can be returned to them upon request at the end of the season. If the Village stores the banner, it will be rehung annually until it becomes unsuitable for display or the family requests its return.
While the Village will make every effort to honor location requests (e.g., near particular banners of family or friends), specific pole locations cannot be guaranteed. Final placement decisions are made by the Village.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the program, the individual to be recognized must reside or have resided in the Village of Croton-on-Hudson. They must also be an honorably discharged, retired, or active duty member of any branch of the U.S. Military, including the National Guard or Reserves.
