Hometown Heroes Banner Program
Active Service Men & Women are welcome to get banners too!
Total of 213 banners hanging in the Borough!
The Souderton Hometown Heroes Banner Program is a living tribute created for the community, to recognize and honor our Veterans. Participants can be serving or have served our country in any branch of the United States Armed Forces. Additionally, a Veteran or active duty serviceperson, living or deceased must have/had a connection to Souderton at some point in his or her life. Examples of the connections are attended local schools, relative, friend, or resident. Also, Veterans who have been honored on War Memorials or Veterans recommended by the local VFW and American Legion Posts. Any additional questions of if your Veteran qualifies, please contact the Borough office.

Banner Locations
Banners will be displayed from May through Veterans Day in November in observance of all Military Branch birthdays. Afterwards the banners will be removed and stored until the same period in the following year at which time they will be re displayed.
The 213 Hometown Heroes banners we have received into the office have been placed around the Borough. If you don’t see a name on the list we haven’t received it into our office yet. Click on the list below to find the location of your banner.
Unfortunately, we have found that most banners are lasting two to three years, and some have been damaged due to weather. If your name or family members is in red on the list that means the banner is damaged and not able to be hung back up. If you would like a replacement banner, please fill out the form below and resubmit it to Anne Henning Scheuring. Please contact her at heroes@verizon.net to check to see if she has the photo of your Veteran on file.
