LANESBOROUGH, Mass. - A new program in Lanesborough will allow you to honor Lanesborough veterans and active-duty service members.

The hometown hero banners will showcase the name and photo of the service member along with their branch of service.

The banners will be displayed on North and South Main Street before Memorial Day and taken down on Veterans Day, this will happen every year.

Lanesborough Town Clerk Ruth Knysh worked hard to get this program up and running and says it’s important to her to honor veterans like her father and others in the community.

“Anyone I believe serving our country is important and they should be honored,” said Knysh.

People can go online or pick up a form at Lanesborough Town Hall. 

The banners are $200 and there will be a deadline by the first week of February.
