Cobleskill

Applications are now being accepted for Cobleskill’s Heroes banner program and will remain open until March 25.
In their fifth year, the banners honor current and former members of the US military who have a connection to Cobleskill.
Banners will be hung throughout the streets of Cobleskill from Memorial Day through Veterans Day.
Family members or friends wishing to honor a loved one for their military service can obtain an application by sending an email to: cobleskillmilitarybanners@gmail.com.
A cost of $50 per banner is assessed for printing and hanging. A check or money order for the full amount (payable to American Legion/Cobleskill Military Banners) can be sent to American Legion Post 57, P.O. Box 252, Cobleskill, NY 12043.
The Cobleskill Military Banner Program was initiated by former mayor Linda V. Holmes and family with the help of AMVETS Post 175 and Fred L. Stilson American Legion Post 57, which organized an initial run of approximately 35 banners. Today, there are more than 100 banners.
Copies of the application are in this week’s Times-Journal.
