2023 Veteran Banner Program

The City of Follansbee is, again, proud to announce the Veteran Banner Program. This program serves as a tribute to recognize service men and women from Follansbee who have served or are serving our country in a branch of the military. Each individual banner is unique and will include their picture, branch of service, era of service, and sponsor’s name. The program is non-political and non-partisan.

Ways to Support the Follansbee Veteran Banner Program

Family members and loved ones of veterans may purchase a banner themselves or obtain a sponsorship by a local business. The City of Follansbee is not responsible for finding sponsorship for banners purchased by individuals, family members, or loved ones. The family or individual’s name would appear on the banner in place of a business sponsorship name.

Businesses may sponsor a banner for a particular veteran by filling out the attached business sponsorship form and the business or civic organization’s name will appear as the sponsor on the banner.
