Hometown Hero Banner Program

FAIRBORN HOMETOWN HEROES BANNER PROGRAM

The Fairborn Military Veterans Memorial Project is taking banner applications to honor past and present military personnel from Fairborn, Fairfield, Osborn, Bath Township, and Wright-Patterson AFB through the Hometown Heroes Banner Program.
 
This program is a living tribute created for the community to recognize and honor Fairborn, Fairfield, Osborn, Bath Township and Wright-Patterson AFB residents and their family members who are currently serving, are veterans who have been honorably discharged or have given their lives in the service to our country within the United States Armed Forces.
 
Each banner will be in honor of a specific service person and will include their name, branch of service, and photo (if provided). Banners will be displayed on street lamps within the City of Fairborn from Memorial Day thru Veterans Day, to both celebrate and remind the community of the dedication to our country displayed by these individuals.
