Veterans Banner Program Application

Let's Celebrate our Woodstock Veterans

The Town of Woodstock’s Veterans Banner Program is administered by AMVETS Post 11.

Completed applications and fees should be submitted to AMVETS and not the Town of Woodstock. Please complete all sections. Incomplete applications may delay review. The banner program operates on a two-year rotation, with banners returned to applicants afterward. The Town of Woodstock will store the banners between display periods, and the Town will also provide the brackets. The program operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to those with a Woodstock connection and without banners in surrounding communities. If we receive too many applications, your application will be saved for the following two-year rotation.
