TOWN OF AMHERST – RESPECTING THE PAST ~ ATTENDING THE PRESENT ~ CONCENTRATING ON THE FUTURE

POLE BANNERS HONORING MILITARY HEROES FOR DISPLAY IN THE TOWN OF AMHERST

In an effort to honor our past and present military heroes, the Town of Amherst is accepting orders for military/veteran light pole banners to be displayed from Memorial Day through Veterans Day 2024 in the Downtown area along S. Main Street from 2nd Street to the traffic circle at Route 60.

An example of the military banner design is below. You will be responsible for providing the Town with valid military information (name, rank, military branch, date of service).

The cost for a military pole banner is $125.00 each, with the opportunity to make a renewal display request each year.

If you would like to participate in the banner program honoring your special military hero, please fill out the form that can be found at https://amherstva.gov/wp-content/uploads/general/POLE-BANNERS-HONORING-MILIARY-HEROES-ORDER-FORM-FILLABLE-1.pdf

The Heroes Banner Program is a tribute created for our community to recognize those that have served, or are currently serving, in the United States Armed Forces, and to recognize the sacrifice of our community’s first responders fallen in the line of duty. Banners have been purchased through the Town’s banner program by family members and friends of each hero and are proudly displayed on streetlight poles along Main Street. These banners contribute to the Town’s quality of life while also promoting civic pride.
