Greensburg, Ind. — The City of Greensburg, in partnership with the Decatur County Community Foundation, announced today the veterans who have been selected to be honored on banners on Veterans Way, Lincoln Street, and Main Street. This initiative honors the service and sacrifice of local veterans across all branches of the armed forces. Submissions were selected by total completion of application, quality of photo, and accuracy of information provided.

The project builds upon the successful 2022 Bicentennial Celebration, during which the Decatur County Visitors Commission displayed banners recognizing veterans and distinguished community members. Continuing this tradition, the new banners will serve as a lasting tribute to those who have served or are currently serving our country.

“The City of Greensburg is proud to continue honoring our local veterans through the production of these banners,” said Mayor Joshua Marsh. “These banners are a visible reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have defended our nation. We’re grateful to the families who shared their stories and to our partners for helping us celebrate these heroes in such a lasting way.”

The veterans listed on the banners are as follows:

“We were truly moved by the community’s enthusiasm and participation in this project,” said Tami Wenning, Executive Director of the Decatur County Community Foundation. “Each submission reflects a deep sense of pride and respect for our veterans, and it’s an honor to help bring these tributes to life for all to see.”

Veterans and residents featured on the 2022 Bicentennial banners can come to City Hall Wednesday, May 28-Friday, May 30 during from 8:00 am- 12:00 pm, 1:00-4:00 pm to pick up their banners. Family members or another designated person can come and pick up banners on behalf of the honoree.
