Banner Program Honors Northridge-Chatsworth Military Heroes

The new Hometown Heroes Banner Program is accepting applications to create banners honoring loved ones in the armed forces.

NORTHRIDGE-CHATSWORTH, CA — If there’s a military hero in your family, you might be able to tell the world about it.

Councilmember John Lee has teamed up with VFW Post 2323 in Granada Hills to create the Hometown Heroes Banner Program, which will design, print, and install banners honoring CD12 residents who have served their country. Banners can commemorate soldiers still serving, or veterans who have served.

The program is aiming to hang different banners at major points all over Northridge and Chatsworth by July, according to Grace Yao, a spokesperson for Lee’s office. The banners will be hung from July until June, and each family will have the opportunity to honor one service member. Families are responsible for the $250 for making and hanging the banner.
