Applications are now available to have a picture and name of your special military veteran put on a banner that will be hung from a lightpole in downtown Belleville, and fly there from Nov. 1 through Jan. 31.
Deadline to apply for the banners was Sept. 15, but that has been extended until Sept. 21.
Mayor Pro-Tem Ken Voigt said applications are on the city website (at Departments then click Clerk/Treasurer), on Facebook 48111, at City Hall, 6 Main St. and at the Independent.
Voigt said applicants should fill out the form and bring it in to City Hall with a high-resolution picture, and $35. He said there are banners available for the first 75 applicants.

Hi! If possible I would like to get a picture displayed of my dad hung from a light pole. This is the first time I’m trying to do this so hopefully I’m in the right place. His name is Willard Belcher and he served in the army from 1966 until 1968 and is a Vietnam Veteran.
