“The program is open to all past and present Servicemembers of the Solon area, past and present Solon area residents that would like to honor a family member, and past and present Servicemembers that are or were members of a Veteran Support Organization in the Solon area,” said Adam Hopp, Commander of Post 460. Proof of eligibility will be required before an application is considered complete.
Applications received before October 15 will still fly this year (until after Veterans Day (Monday, Nov. 11) and will be up again next year starting in mid-May. Full eligibility requirements and an application are available on the Legions website.
