A little small town history🎖️
Some of you may remember a post I made not too long ago about looking for volunteers to help put the Hometown Hero Banners up in Hinsdale. Well today, with huge thanks to all of our volunteers, the banners were placed up on the poles lining the main roads in Hinsdale.
Pictured are some of the inspirations of the project.
Roy Hamilton- Served a total of 22 years in the military, touching ground in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. More importantly, my grandfather and the whole reason the project started 6 years ago.
Jessica Neal-Served 7 years in the National Guard during the Iraq/Afghanistan Era, and my cousin, but also another main inspiration for the project.
Jason Oakley- Served in the U.S Army during the War on Terrorism and became a Hinsdale American Legion Commander
Bill Gaylor Sr.- Served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and became a Hinsdale American Legion Commander.
Also pictured is the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial showcasing many more of the Veterans that are lining Hinsdale.
To all Military seeing this post, both Veterans and Active Military, thank you for your service and sacrifices to our country🇺🇸
