The Auxiliary of Griswold Terry Glover American Legion Post 803 of Southold has partnered with the Town of Southold to honor Veterans, Active-Duty personnel, and members of the Reserve and National Guard to install tribute banners on lamp posts on Main Road in the Hamlet of Southold beginning in May, 2025.
Each banner is individualized to honor a specific person with their name, branch of service, and photograph. Community members are encouraged to sponsor a Veteran, living or deceased. Banner space is limited so applicants must contact the Auxiliary at southoldtownsalutes@gmail.com before submitting an application and check. The cost to sponsor a banner is $225.
The (19” x 37”) banners will hang annually from lamp posts in the Hamlet of Southold, from May in celebration of Memorial Day to November in observance of Veterans Day. The application process will open annually, allowing new applicants an opportunity to sponsor a Veteran. Banners from previous years may be rotated into display, depending on the number of new banners hung each year, or sponsors may take the banners home.
