In 2011 the Bel Air Downtown Alliance introduced the Hometown Heroes Banner Program to honor men and women from the Harford County area who have served or are currently serving our country in a branch of the military or first responder. Each unique banner includes the soldier or first responder’s picture, branch of service and era of service. The banners are 24″ wide and 44″ tall and include sponsor’s name, prominently displayed at the bottom.

The current Hometown Hero Banners will be displayed during the service holidays through the fall of 2028. The Bel Air Downtown Alliance will make the banners available for pick up at the end 2028. All banners not picked up within 30 days will be discarded.

We encourage you to visit Downtown Bel Air and to see the Heroes banners proudly displayed.
