Blue Star Banner applications available for Wylie residents

by | May 15, 2019 | Latest

Wylie residents with families actively serving the the U.S. armed forces are encouraged to apply for a Blue Star Banner under a program that honors the American tradition of displaying the banner in a home’s window when a family member is serving.

The program is provided by the city of Wylie, Hale-Combest American Legion Post 315 and Wylie Chapter 4660 Woodmen of the World.

Any family within Wylie city limits or with children attending Wylie ISD schools is eligible to receive a commemorative banner. Once the specifications are verified, the banner will be presented during a Wylie City Council meeting.
