The Town of Hammonton has officially announced the launch of its new Hometown Heroes Banner Program, a community-wide initiative designed to serve as a living tribute to past and present members of the United States Armed Forces. The program invites residents, business owners, and community organizations to unite in honoring local veterans and active-duty military personnel.
The visual banners will be prominently displayed throughout Town, offering a highly visible acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by Hammonton’s service members. Each banner will feature the individual’s name, military branch, era of service, and a photograph, providing a deeply personalized connection between the community and its defenders.
Community members who wish to participate, submit a loved one’s profile, or offer volunteer assistance must deliver all informational materials by September 15th, 2026.
Inquiries regarding sponsorships or volunteer opportunities should be directed to Councilperson JD Calderone via email at jdcalderone@townofhammonton.org.
To complete your submission, please provide three items: a copy of the completed Honoree Form (download here), a photo of the veteran (if you need to make a copy, Walgreens offers excellent photo services at a reasonable price), and a check for $130 made out to American Legion Post 186, with the veteran’s name included on the check. Kindly place these items in an envelope and drop them off in the Town Hall drop box, addressed to Councilman JD Calderone, by September 15th, 2026.
