Main Street Ottumwa’s Military and
Veteran Banner Program

The Main Street Ottumwa Program is pleased to announce the 2024 season (beginning March 15) for its banner program which recognizes and honors those who are serving or have served in the United States Armed forces.

​

The program is intended to show appreciation for veterans and military personnel and their families who have ties to the Ottumwa area. Banners display a photo of the service person as well as their name, branch, and dates of military service. Each banner will be displayed for two years from the date of purchase. We have started a waitlist for 2025 banners.

Qualifications

To qualify for the Military and Veteran Banner Program, one of the following criteria must be met:

  1. The honoree is an active-duty member of the United States Armed Forces

  2. The honoree is a retired, deceased or honorably discharged member of the United States Armed Forces who has, or did, reside in Ottumwa or Wapello County.

  3. The applicant is a current resident or business based in Ottumwa.
