Since Veterans Day, hometown heroes have been just a glance away.

More than two dozen local military men and women are featured in Hometown Hero banners that have been on display on Main Street since November.

Bel Air Patch has highlighted each of these heroes. The banner honoring all past and present members of the Bel Air Rotary Club who served in the armed forces is the last in the series.

The banner was sponsored by the Bel Air Rotary Club.

The 2011 Hometown Hero Banner Program was started by the Bel Air Downtown Alliance in observance of the 100th anniversary of Veterans Day.

When the banners went up there were 29 of them, but as the days and weeks went on, more people elected to honor their local hero and more banners joined the ranks.

The $200 cost of sponsorship went toward supporting the Bel Air Downtown Alliance, Bel Air Veterans Day Parade and Toys for Tots.
