Many communities in our nation employ a “Hometown Heroes” banner program to recognize and honor the veterans in their communities. Rich in history and pride, Richmondville has been home to many, many veterans as well and will now support this project.
The Richmondville Veteran Banners Program is an endeavor sponsored by the Ralph Sperbeck American Legion Post 249. Getting started with this project requires initial funding for banner design, production costs, and holders (standoffs) for displaying the banners, etc.
If you or your organization would like to make a monetary contribution, the Richmondville American Legion Banner Project would graciously accept and appreciate this. Your donation will be used to purchase the necessary items to get this project off the ground and ensure its existence for years to come. If you wish to support this program please mail your check to: Ralph Sperbeck American Legion Post 249, Veteran Banners Project, P. O. Box 253, Richmondville, NY. 12149.
For our initial endeavor in 2024 it is anticipated that banners will be displayed from July 4th through Veterans Day. In the future banners will be hung from Memorial Day through Veterans Day.
Honoree Applications are available at Rvilleveteranbanners@gmail.com. 2024 banners will be displayed to the extent that starting equipment purchased will allow. Banner rotation will take place if need be.
