The Mendon Brothers of the Brush is taking orders for American flag banners honoring military members and veterans.
The banners will line the Memorial Day parade route, which runs from Eastern Security Safe at 23 Providence Street to Maple Street and along Rte. 16 to Main Street, ending at town hall.
“The brothers wanted to do something to add to the solemnity of our Memorial Day parade ceremonies,” member Rich Schofield said of the local organization’s Flags of Honor Program.
At 30 x 60 inches, the double-sided banners are larger than in the past and include either a photo of the honoree or a silhouette of the Concord Minuteman statue within a circle of 13 stars.
The banners will remain in place for two years between Memorial and Veterans days before being returned to their purchasers. There are 52 available for $250 each with an ordering deadline of March 29.
Visit the Brothers of the Brush website for more information or download the order form. Order forms are also available at the Taft Library, Mendon Post Office, the senior center and town hall. Questions may be sent to mendonbrush@gmail.com with “Flag Committee” anywhere in the subject line.
