Honor a Hometown Hero

Oswego Hometown Heros

The Oswego American Legion, in partnership with the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce, is proud to present the Hometown Heroes Banner Program. This initiative gives residents the opportunity to honor their military loved ones with a custom tribute banner that will be displayed throughout the Village of Oswego.

Each double-sided banner measures 30"x60" and includes a photo and details of the honored service member. Banners will be proudly displayed from Nov. through Apr. and, following the display period, will be gifted to the sponsor as a keepsake.

This meaningful program serves as a fundraiser for the Oswego American Legion, with proceeds directly supporting local veterans. Banners are $150 each and fully customized to celebrate the unique service of each hero.

Banners will be available for pickup in May 2026. To reserve a banner, click here. [ [link removed] ]
