The Hometown Hero Banner Program was established in 2022 to honor and recognize past or present members of the United States Armed Forces. There was such a great response to the program and were able to recognize 190 Hometown Heroes on the utility poles along Rogers Street, Hamacher Street, Veterans Drive and Lakeview Drive.
The time has come to renew the Hometown Hero Banner Program. For the 2024-2025 program, banners can be purchased by veterans or their families and will feature the service member’s name, rank, photo and branch of service. The applicant or service member must be a Waterloo resident, or an active member of the local VFW or American Legion. Banners will again be displayed for 2 years, after which they will be returned to the applicant.
There are 190 spaces available that will be filled first come, first serve. The deadline is Friday, March 29, 2024.
