- Free program to honor active and veteran service members
- Simple application – submit one for yourself, a loved one or a neighbor
The Village of Vernon Hills continues to partner with American Legion Vernon Post 1247 to honor Vernon Hills service members who have served or who continue to serve our nation by creating and displaying banners on Village street light poles. If you or someone you know is a current or veteran service member, please consider recognizing them through this free Military Banners program. The simple application is posted on the Village website along with more information as well as a list of all who have been honored to date. Please help us add to that list by visiting the Military Banners webpage and completing an application.
Pictured on his Military Banner is Corporal Bernie Parker, who served in the South Pacific during World War II. He was one of 22 Vernon Hills residents honored in 2025 with a Military Banner. Thank you for your service!
