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 allows family members to commemorate their loved ones who have served, whether they are currently active, honorably discharged, or have made the ultimate sacrifice.

The resolution acknowledges the collaborative efforts that made the program possible, including support from the Bennington Select Board, the public works crew for banner installation, and Green Mountain Power for allowing the banners to be displayed on utility poles. The program was formally dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 2024, during a reflective ceremony in Bennington. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to relevant organizations involved in the program, further solidifying the community's commitment to honoring its military veterans.
