Memorial Day is to honour those who died in the service of their country while serving in one of the military branches. How some small towns in New York honour those who served in the armed services is by putting up Hometown Hero banners along the main street of the town. The towns usually put these up prior to Memorial Day and may leave them up for a month or so afterwards.
Does your town recognise those who served in this way? How does your town honour those who served?

A nice remembrance and reminder to the rest of us about those who serve.

There’s a poster like this on Staten Island , New York with my father’s older brother on it. My uncle, Frank D’Agostino, was a Marine at Iwo Jima.

Do they hang these up on the street in Staten Island? It’s nice that your uncle is remembered that way.

Yes, they are hanging from street posts like in the pictures above. My cousin sent me a pic of her father’s poster. However, I live in Greensboro, North Carolina.
