Their names deserve to be seen.

This Memorial Day, Gardendale will honor the veterans who shaped our families, protected our freedoms, and served our nation with courage through our Hometown Hero Banner Program.

These custom banners will line Main Street for a 3-year period beginning Memorial Day 2026 — creating a powerful tribute visible to our entire community.

Whether honoring a parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, or friend, this is a meaningful way to preserve their legacy and publicly say:
“Your service mattered.”

Each banner is personalized with:
🇺🇸 Name
🇺🇸 Military branch
🇺🇸 Rank, years served, honors, and more

📍 Banners will hang along Main Street in Gardendale
🗓 First order deadline: May 20th
🎖 Display begins Memorial Day – May 25th, 2026
💲 Cost: $400

Help us fill Main Street with stories of sacrifice, honor, and patriotism.
