Honoring Our Heroes: The Hometown Heroes Banner Program

The program offers families, businesses, and organizations the opportunity to commemorate local heroes with custom-designed banners. Each banner proudly displays the hero’s photo, name, rank and branch of service. These banners will be prominently displayed on light poles throughout Downtown Ortonville, creating a meaningful and visual reminder of the sacrifices made by members of our community.

Banners are $125 each - $50 to nominate a service member and $75 per sponsorship. Banner sponsorship are available to families, local businesses, and local community groups.

Sponsorship opportunities are limited to 30 banners per year, ensuring a unique and special tribute.

Our Hometown Heroes Banners recognize service members from WWII to present.
