Hometown Heroes

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.

I believe these were in the town of. LaGrangeville. These people are currently serving.
A lot of the ones around Pleasant Valley appeared to have rips in them. Not sure why.

Does your town recognise those who served in this way? How does your town honour those who served?
