The “Hometown Heroes Banner Program” is an initiative between the Town of Southampton and the Westhampton VFW Post 5350 to recognize the service and sacrifices made by our servicemen and women.
Participants in the “Hometown Heroes Banner Program” will be able to honor their hometown hero who is currently serving or has served in the U.S. Military, by sponsoring and purchasing a custom banner from Westhampton VFW Post 5350. Either banner sponsors OR honorees must live or have lived in the Town of Southampton. Cost of the eighteen by thirty-six-inch banner will be $150, with a portion of the proceeds to be administered by Westhampton VFW Post 5350 to benefit local veterans organizations or to assist families with a banner purchase. All program sponsors will keep their banner at the end of the program period.
The program will run from Memorial Day through Veterans Day at Good Ground Park in Hampton Bays and other Town Park locations, TBD.
Banner applications are first come first serve, with one banner per sponsor. At the end of the program period, program sponsors will be able to pick up their banner at the Housing and Community Services Department located at 240 W. Montauk Highway.
