O’Fallon Hometown Heroes Banner Project

O’Fallon, Illinois – A local citizen, in cooperation with the O’Fallon American Legion Post #137, are now accepting applications for the “O’Fallon Hometown Heroes Banner Project.” The O’Fallon Hometown Heroes Banner Project is an opportunity for citizens of O’Fallon to honor local military members who have served their country and First Responders who have served their local community by placing a banner in their honor on a light pole in downtown O’Fallon. Each year, applications are accepted from August 1 - October 31, for the following year and can be found at http://hometownheroesil.com/order-form/.

Each banner will honor an individual service member or First Responder, including retired and honorably discharged veterans, active duty service members, and memorials to service members who are no longer with us.

Banners are $125 each, sized 18” x 36”, and will be hung along O’Fallon streets from February 1 – October 31, each year. When the banners come down, there will be a Recognition Ceremony to return the banners to the individuals/family members.

More information can be found at www.hometownheroesil.com.

Or a brochure can be picked up at City Hall during normal business hours.
