He or she could also have been honored on Lower Providence War Memorials or be a veteran recommended by local VFW and American Legion Posts.

The Hometown Heroes Banners are 2' x 4', made of heavy vinyl and printed the same on both sides. The banner displays the service person’s photograph, full name, branch of the military and the era of service (WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc.) Banners will be displayed on a first-come, first serve basis within the Eagleville Park Complex starting Memorial Day 2021 through May 1, 2022. Banners will then be removed and available for pick up by the holder at the Lower Providence Township Building. Subsequent groups will be displayed on an annual basis.
