Georgetown’s Hometown Heroes Banner Program is a community initiative, led by local resident Jon Pingree who worked with the Georgetown Kiwanis to place banners throughout the downtown to honor local veterans.
The banners were safely stored for the winter, but as spring approaches the Georgetown Light Department will again proudly display the custom banners throughout the downtown area.
The program displays 24″ x 36″
banners on utility poles from May 1 through the end of November and
spotlights local veterans with a link to Georgetown. Banners are produced in minimum batches of five and cost $195 each but there are provisions for financial assistancebelow). For information or to request a banner, contact Jon Pingree at 978.836.8409. You will need to provide the veteran’s name, years of service, rank, and the branch of the military the veteran served. Thanks to groups providing financial support, the criteria for a free banner are as
follows: you work for the town, or have a relative who was killed in action, or you have a financial hardship.
The program is for people that are alive or who have passed. To qualify, they need to have some connection to Georgetown – either they grew up here or have a family member that lives here.
Give me a call or text me for more information, but let’s get your banner ordered A.S.A.P. for this year’s program. I can be reached at: KAY LEE OGDEN: TEXT 978.771.6884 OR CALL: 978.352.8318 or you may send me a message at:

We highly respect all our servicemembers, we salute, and recognize them and their families, who have proudly served our country and communities around the world from the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, Marines, Merchant Marines, Navy, Space Force and all who have served.
