As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, the Town of Lyman has announced the launch of its Hometown Heroes Banner Program — a community tribute to the veterans and active-duty service members who have ties to the town.
This summer, banners bearing the names and faces of local heroes will be displayed on light poles and prominent public locations throughout Lyman. Town officials say that the banners will be displayed from Memorial Day through Veterans Day.
Families are invited to submit their loved ones — both living and deceased — for this recognition. Each banner will feature a photograph of the Honoree alongside their name, rank, branch of service, and years of service.
To be honored through the Hometown Heroes Banner Program, the nominee must:
Be a veteran or active-duty service member (living or deceased).
Have a connection to the Town of Lyman.
There is no cost to families who wish to nominate a loved one. Town officials note that applying does not guarantee that a banner will be approved, and that the town reserves final approval authority over all submissions. The Town of Lyman is fully funding this program as part of its commitment to honoring those who have served.
To nominate a hero, complete the application form by Friday, May 15, 2026. Applications require:
Applicant contact information
Honoree information (name, branch of service, rank, years of service)
The Honoree’s connection to Lyman
A high-resolution photograph in digital format
Proof of service
For questions, contact Lyman Town Clerk Candy Brock at cbrock@lymansc.gov.
