The Village proclaims May as Military Appreciation Month. As part of that appreciation, the Village unveiled the second group of honorees who will be spotlighted through our Military Honors Banner Program. Banners featuring these heroes are already in place on light poles in the Village along the July 4 Parade Route (Deerpath and Sullivan Drives).

Thank you to American Legion Post 1247 for their efforts on behalf of this program, and on behalf of all veterans.

Current and veteran service members, including family members of those who have passed, are encouraged to complete an application to be included in the 2024 Military Honors Banner Program.
