The House concurrent resolution No. R-22 honors the Green Mountain Hometown Heroes Banner Program, which was initiated in 2024 to recognize past and present members of the U.S. Armed Forces associated with Bennington. This program features customized banners displayed along Route 7, celebrating veterans from various military branches, including the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, and the Vermont National Guard. The initiative acknowledges the service of individuals from historical conflicts, ranging from the Civil War to contemporary military engagements, allowing families to commemorate their loved ones who are currently serving, honorably discharged, or who lost their lives in service.

The resolution highlights the collaborative efforts that made the program possible, including support from the Bennington Select Board, public works crew, and Green Mountain Power, which facilitated the installation of the banners. The program was formally dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 2024, during a reflective ceremony in Bennington. The resolution calls for the General Assembly to honor the program and its honorees, and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to relevant organizations and individuals involved in the initiative.
