The Snellville American Hero Military Banner Program, launched this week, will recognize and pay tribute to veterans currently serving or who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The banners, approximately 18 inches wide and 38 inches long, will be displayed on lamp posts in the Snellville Towne Center area along Oak Road, Clower Street and Wisteria Drive. Cost is $200 for a banner located on the Towne Green or in front of the Veterans Memorial and $150 for all other lamp posts in the Towne Center area. All proceeds will benefit the Snellville Veterans’ Memorial.

Deadline for banners to be displayed for Memorial Day is April 15. Deadline for banners to be displayed for Veterans’ Day is Aug. 20.

The banners will be displayed approximately 30 days prior to the Memorial Day holiday and again approximately 30 days prior to the Veterans Day holiday on Nov. 11.
