PIERCETON — An effort is underway in Pierceton to honor local military veterans and others with banners that will be on display beginning in November.

Current or former Pierceton residents who have been or are members of any branch of the military or have been or are police officers, firefighters or first responders are those being honored through the Pierceton Honors Banner Recognition Program.

Banners will be 17 inches wide by 40 inches tall and made of heavy vinyl, printed on both sides. Each banner will display the honoree’s photo, full name, branch or area of service and years served.

The banners will be displayed on First Street and Market Street at locations that will be determined by Pierceton Honors board members.

The cost of each banner is $100.

The first banners are expected to go up in November. Banners will be displayed on a first-come basis.

Applications and checks can be mailed to: Pierceton Honors, P.O. Box 14, Pierceton, IN 46562. For questions and information about the program, call Deb Finken at (574) 453-7415 or Greg Chism at (765) 618-3774.
