What is the Rotary Hometown Hero Banner Program?
Rotary Club of Abbeville, is launching a street‑side tribute to honor Veterans. Custom, double‑sided banners display your honoree’s name, branch, era of service, and photo for 3-years, during a seasonal 3-mo. annual tribute period.
Why is Rotary doing this?
This project celebrates courage and sacrifice, builds community pride, and preserves local stories for future generations.
We are neighbors, community leaders, and problem‑solvers who unite to create lasting change. The Rotary Hometown Hero Banner program reflects our gratitude to those who served and continue to serve.
We gratefully acknowledge the City of Abbeville for their partnership in making the Rotary Hometown Hero Banner Program launch possible. Their team will generously handle the annual installation, removal, and upkeep of our banners during the 3-month tribute period—helping us proudly showcase the Veterans we honor in this lasting public display.
