The town that is paying tribute to its veterans and military members is Hyde Park. The Hometown Heroes Banner Program was started by the Town and its Veteran's Committee. The family members of the veteran or active-duty military can purchase one of the banners that will hang in the town. The banner will show their name, the dates that they served, their branch of the military and any honors that they may have received.

For each military member, there is a form that needs to be filled out completely, along with a copy of the service member's DD-214. The cost of the banner is $250 for each one.

Once the banners are hung, they should be able to last about three years. The first banners that will go up are for those persons who were KIA/MIA/POWs. If you are interested in getting one of these banners to honor your family member or loved ones, you can reach out to the Hyde Park NY Veteran's Committee.
