Veteran Banner Project

It's Time to Honor our Veterans

Help us Honor and show pride in our Veterans. In cooperation with the City of Savannah, the Savannah American Legion Post 287 is proud to provide the opportunity to honor a local veteran or those actively serving in the military by offering a Veteran’s Banner. The Veteran’s Banner will hang on Main Street and around the square in Savannah for approximately one month in conjunction with Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veteran’s Day for two consecutive years.

There are spots for only 100 Veteran’s Banners. The 18”x 36” banner will have the Veterans name, branch of service and service dates. After the banner's two year tour is completed, the banner is retired. The American Legion will then contact the sponsor to give them the retired banner or give sponsors the opportunity to re-enlist the banner.

The 2021 Veteran’s Banner applications will be accepted starting immediately. Submission will be chosen on a first come, first serve and space available basis for one of the 100 Veteran Banner spots.
