NEW HARTFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY

New Harford Historical Society pairs with First Source Federal
Credit Union to help Honor our Hometown Heroes!

There is no greater piece of a community’s history than the Veterans that served to protect it! Since the
inception of the “Hometown Heroes” banner program in Utica just a few short years ago, the popularity
NEW HARTFORD of the banners has spread like wildfire into the surrounding communities. Last year many banners
dotted the streets of both the Town and Village of New Hartford as families purchased the banners

to honor their loved ones. The program allows for banners purchased to be displayed for three years,
between Memorial Day in May and Veteran’s Day in November.
PAST TIMES July 2024 Last years inaugural program in New Hartford was, to say the least, a tremendous success. When the

application process opened this year, our Treasurer Ray Philo, who heads the Veteran’s project here at
NEW HARTFORD
the Society, suggested we explore purchasing banners for those who no longer have family here or may
NEW HARTFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY not be able to purchase them. The Board wholeheartedly agreed and through Ray’s efforts, secured
a grant from First Source F.C.U. With their generous assistance, we purchased nine banners honoring
PAST TIMES July 2024 many spanning those who served as far back to the Revolutionary War. These nine added to the nearly
fifty additional banners purchased bringing nearly sixty new banners to the streets of New Hartford.

NEW HARTFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY It was a pleasure honoring men and women from our “Hometown” who sacrificed so much for us,
our community and the nation! We are looking forward to keep our participation in this worthwhile
program going again next year. If any of our readers wish to support our banner project going forward,
