Just in time for Veterans Day, Saxonburg’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7376 has added a new wave of veterans memorial banners for display throughout the borough.

Members of the VFW were out Saturday, Nov. 7, placing 49 new banners along South Rebecca Street, State Street and Dinnerbell Road, with each banner paying tribute to a Saxonburg-area veteran. This marks the third batch of memorial banners added by Post 7376 since the program began last November with a batch of 62 banners, mainly along Main Street.

This third batch of banners brings the total to 194. The second batch, which added 83 banners, was added ahead of Memorial Day this past May.

According to VFW auxiliary president Morgan Criswell, the Saxonburg VFW opens its veterans memorial banner program up for additional requests from the community twice a year — in the lead-up to Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

“We take requests from family members and friends (of veterans),” Criswell said. “The next round will be sometime in the spring of 2027. It’ll be open to the public, and they can submit their requests to us.”
