Hometown Heroes Banners

Hometown Heroes Banners - Friday, March 19, 2010 at 04:03AM EST

Reported by: Jeremy Deebel Friday March 19 2010
In Lycoming County, families of local patriots can now honor their loved ones in a creative new way. Hometown Heroes banners are available for order. The 18x36 inch banners will be displayed on street lights in downtown Williamsport. They'll feature the veteran's picture, branch and era of service, and hometown. Funds raised will support Valley Prevention Services- which provides drug and alcohol education to local youth. Valley Prevention Services Executive Director Geoffrey Arthur said, "I think people are going to be really impressed as they ride down Via Bella Street and they see these pictures of local patriots. I think it's a good thing for the community as well and I think it brings pride to the community." The cost to sponsor a soldier, sailor, or airman is $200. The deadline to order a banner has been extended until the end of May. For more information, call 570-323-9940 or visit www. valleypreventionservices. org .
