MARS — Borough Council approved its Veteran Banner Program on Monday, July 24, with applications being taken in the coming weeks.

“I’m going to email the company tomorrow, and then whenever they can get the landing page up, we can start taking applications,” said Amy Brown, the borough’s assistant secretary and treasurer. “The banners won’t go up until Memorial Day.”

The program will allow residents to sponsor banners with the names of service members, with priority given to residents. The 30-by-60-inch banners will include the veteran's name and image, with the application being completed online or in person.
