Main Street Ottumwa’s Military and
Veteran Banner Program
The Hometown Heroes Program is no longer accepting applications for its banner program which recognizes and honors those who are serving or have served in the United States Armed forces.
​
If you would like to feature a loved on a banner, we will reopen orders in 2027.

The program is intended to show appreciation for veterans and military personnel and their families who have ties to the Ottumwa area. Banners will display a photo of the service person as well as their name, branch, and dates of military service.
