Warren taking applications for veteran banners to be displayed downtown
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — Warren is launching a new program aimed at publicly honoring veterans with strong ties to the city. The 'Warren Honors: Veterans Banner Program' was created through a partnership with the city, Trumbull County Historical Society and Trumbull County Veterans Service Commission. 'These banners are a reminder and a tribute to the brave men and brave women who have served our nation in dedication and sacrifice,' said Michael O'Brien, councilman at large. The banners will include a picture of the veteran, plus their branch and dates of service. They'll be displayed in downtown Warren between Memorial Day and Veterans Day in both 2025 and 2026. After the second season, they'll be returned to the applicant. 'These aren't just banners. They're testaments. They are family photo albums raised high in the sky. They are reminders that service doesn't end when the uniform comes off,' Mayor Doug Franklin said. The cost of a banner, which is double-sided and 18″ x 48″, is $200. Banner location and placement requests cannot be accommodated. To be eligible for a banner, the applicant must: Reside in or have resided in the City of Warren corporation limits at some point or have a strong Warren connection (such as having worked in Warren).
