Our Hometown Heroes
Presented by Embassy Bank
For the 15th year, the Hometown Heros Display will transform the SteelStacks Campus into a living memorial honoring our hometown heroes. From May 23-July 7 the campus will be draped with images of local military heroes as a display of the appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifices and contributions. The banners will display photos of the soldiers, their rank, branch of service, era of service and hometown.
Photos will be accepted starting March 1 through March 31. The first 200 photos received will be accepted for the 2025 display. Photos submitted from 2011-2024 will be on this year’s banners. Changes will not be made to existing banners unless the soldier has given the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Images must be of high-resolution jpeg, tiff, bitmap or PDF file. Color photographs, as well as black and white photos will be accepted. All images submitted in previous years will automatically be displayed as part of the “Our Hometown Heroes” display. Changes will not be made to existing banners unless the Soldier has given the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Additional details on the 2025 Memorial Day events and activities at SteelStacks will be available later this Spring.
