Mint Hill Residents,
Food, fun-filled gatherings and fireworks on the 4th of July are a time-honored tradition. For some Americans, particularly our veterans, Independence Day is anything but fun. Some veterans may have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can be triggered by loud fireworks. In addition, more pets run away of the Fourth of July than any other day of the year. When deciding how to celebrate America’s birthday this year, keep our veterans and pets in mind.
The Town of Mint Hill is pleased to announce our Military Hometown Heroes Banner Program. The program was created as a tribute for our community to honor fallen service members, veterans, and active-duty service members of the United States Armed Forces. Banners will be displayed on light poles with the veteran’s photo on both sides of the banner, along with name, conflict/war served and branch of service. Banners will be on display twice per year (Memorial Day and Veterans Day). The first cycle of banners will be hung around the fountain at Town Hall starting in November 2022.
Family and friends wishing to honor a loved one for their military service can obtain an application at https://tinyurl.com/mvtku4nk Banners will be available on a first come, first-serve basis.
There will be no trash service on July 4th. Trash next week will be delayed by one day.
This Fourth of July, as we celebrate our freedom, let’s remember those who fought for that freedom.
Have a healthy and safe holiday weekend.
God Bless America!
Brad Simmons
Mint Hill Mayor
