SECTIONS
This may be the closest any of these local heroes gets to the parade through the streets of their hometown.
A banner, hung from the lamp posts throughout the community where they grew up, on display for all to recognize their service and remember their sacrifices.
For the seventh year, the Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corporation (DSIC) and city of Schenectady are partnering to honor current enlisted personnel and veterans, both alive and deceased, through the Hometown Heroes Banner Program.
Nominations are currently being accepted through Friday, March 26.
This is a chance to recognize our military personnel with a prominent place of honor in downtown Schenectady, to be seen by individual community members, visitors, businesses and family members.
