HOMETOWN HEROES MILITARY BANNER PROJECT TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN CARMICHAELS & CUMBERLAND TOWNSHIP

The Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club will be overseeing the coordination of the Hometown Heroes Military Banner Project throughout Carmichaels Borough and Cumberland Township.

The Hometown Heroes Military Banner Project is a living tribute created to honor and recognize Cumberland Township and Carmichaels Borough men and women who served, are currently serving, or have given their lives for our country in the United States Armed Forces. To qualify, a veteran or service member must have a connection to Carmichaels Borough or Cumberland Township (either lived or is currently living in Carmichaels, Nemacolin, Crucible, and parts of Rices Landing that fall within the township).

The banner will be 2’ x 4’ printed double sided on heavy vinyl. A 12” x 18” yard banner (flag only) can also be purchased.

The banner will display the veteran/service member’s name, photograph, branch of service, rank, and hometown. The banners will be hung on telephone poles along Route 88 and George Street. Applications will be accepted from April 1 through September 1, 2023.

If you are interested in sponsoring a banner, please fill out an application form. An application form and a detailed flyer about the project has been distributed throughout the Carmichaels area at various locations: the VFW, American Legion Post 400, Flenniken Library, and Carmichaels VFD. The application form and flyer can also be downloaded from the Carmichaels Women’s Civic Club Facebook page. Request the flyer and application form be sent to you via email by contacting CWCCBanners@gmail.com.
