Operation Orleans Hometown Heroes Project deadline is Sept. 16

ORLEANS – “Operation Orleans Hometown Heroes Project,” is well underway.  

Orleans residents are encouraged to honor their hero, a family member, or a friend who is a Veteran past and present by purchasing one of the new banners. 

The Hometown Heroes Banners will be displayed on the period street lamps throughout the town this coming November to honor and celebrate Veterans and their service.  

Shown (Left to Right) purchasing the first banner is the project co-chair and Orleans Clerk Robert F. Henderson, honoring his own father, a veteran of WW II, Project Legion member and Project Chairlady Benny Brown-Beatty, Legion Commander Ron Taylor, and Legion Secretary Tom Roney, Jr.   The project is a joint effort between the Warren Brock American Legion Post #69 and the Town of Orleans.

The banners will be custom-created by HD Graphix. Orders are now being accepted on a first come first served basis.  The cost of each banner will be $100 including a photograph.  

The DEADLINE to place an order is September 16th. 

Those interested in placing their orders are urged to do so online at www.hdgraphixshop.com. Please provide a good sharp high-resolution photograph. 

Order forms are also available from the Orleans Town Hall and inside The Orleans Progress Examiner.
