DeLand Honors Hometown Heroes |
"As the Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program enters its fourth year, I am still in awe of all the harrowing stories of our heroes and what they have accomplished in their lives.
That’s what this program — which just received a new three-year sponsorship from AdventHealth DeLand — originally set out to do: Share the stories of brave men and women who fought for our freedom, returned home and have gone on to live, perhaps, rather normal lives.
They truly are our heroes."
