City of Hornell Hometown Hero Banner Program

The City of Hornell is pleased to announce our Hometown Hero Banner program. Each individual banner will be to honor a specific “Hometown Hero” who has served or is currently serving our country. The red, white, and blue banners will feature the name of the service person, their branch of service, era of service and a service photo of the veteran or service member. The banner will be the same design on both sides.

The Hometown Heroes Banners will be displayed on the downtown streets in Hornell from Memorial Day through Veterans’ Day. All banners will be placed randomly. We cannot accommodate placement requests at this time. The cost of each banner is $200. For an application click here.

Please make checks payable to City of Hornell. Mail or hand deliver completed application, photo, and payment to Mayor’s Office, City of Hornell, 82 Main St., PO Box 627, Hornell, NY 14843. Applications may be dropped off Monday-Friday 8:30am-3:30pm. Please be sure that photos are labeled with the service person’s name.
