Phase 1 includes 50 heroes
The City of Liberty Lake, the Liberty Lake Centennial Rotary Club and Avista are honoring local veterans, past and present, with banners placed on light standards along Country Vista Road west of Liberty Lake Road.
The first 25 banners were installed prior to the arrival of the Moving Vietnam Memorial Wall to Pavilion Park on September 15.
Since the banners are an ongoing project, nominations can still be submitted. Do you have a veteran, with Liberty Lake connections, that you would like to honor? Go to libertylakehometownheroes.com for information and applications.
Organizers will be adding 25 more banners to complete the 50-banner plan for Phase 1 of the Liberty Lake Hometown Heroes Banner Program.
