The Town of Brookfield is offering for the
first year the popular Hometown Heroes Banner Program. This program
proudly recognizes active duty and veteran service members who have been
honorably discharged, both living and deceased. Each banner honors a
specific Brookfield service member whether a current or past resident of
the town and features his or her name, rank, branch of service, era of
service (WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc.), photo, and donor information
(optional). Banners will be digitally printed on 18" x 36" 18 oz.
blockout scrim vinyl (most durable and stable vinyl in the industry),
printed the same on both sides and will be displayed on town owned
lampposts along Federal Road (between Station Road and Old Route 7).
All orders must be received by March 1st to allow time for printing and
installation by Memorial Day. Banners will cost $150 for one year and
$225 for two years and will be displayed from Memorial Day to Veterans
Day at which time they will be removed and placed in storage for the
winter months. Banners that have been displayed after the one year or
two year period may be returned to the donor at their request. Banners
that are not redisplayed or returned to the donor become the property of
the Town of Brookfield and may be used for promotional purposes.
Applications will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. If the
maximum banner capacity is reached, applicants will be placed on a list
for their banner to be displayed the following year. Requests for a
specific display location on Federal Road will not be accepted. The Town
of Brookfield will determine placement of the banners.
The Town of Brookfield is not responsible for replacing banners that are
stolen, damaged, or destroyed due to age, vandalism, or any acts of
nature, including high winds. Any loss or damage to an installed banner
will be handled at the discretion of the Town of Brookfield.
