Clarification: A previous version of this story included potential banner locations on side streets when calculating the number of possible banners. After an email from Marla Booher with the foundation, that sentence has been corrected.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The rest of the veterans banners from the Vieyra Honors Foundation will go up in mid-September and be up until Veteran's Day.

The foundation said earlier this month that they sold 85 banners in their first year. There are enough locations for at least that many banners, but they are trying to stay with just Main Street, so will have a specific number once this year's banners are hung.

The foundation said they will be looking for opportunities in the coming year to carry out their vision of supporting Veterans’ programs in Reno County and providing resources through fundraising and awareness initiatives.
