During the lodge’s annual Hometown Heroes Military Banner dedication ceremony last Thursday, several soldiers’ family members and veterans celebrated raising 27 banners, each one with the name, rank and picture of active duty or former service members.
The plan is to raise all 40 banners soon, said Pat Riordan of the Elks’ Veterans Committee.
“We have about four spots still open for this program. We had 27 banners ready to go for the ceremony, and we have nine on their way,” Riordan said. “This year we’re honoring Korean War vets as well.”
