"I HONOR" VETERAN TRIBUTE BANNER
 CEREMONY - Let's Honor Our Veterans Together 

The Village of Manhattan and The Manhattan American Legion Post 935 will dedicate its newly displayed veterans banners, with a ceremony set for Sunday, May 24, 2026.      The I Honor banners, created in partnership with American Legion Manhattan Illinois Post 935 as an effort to recognize veterans of Manhattan and Manhattan Township, are hung on street poles in town. A limited number of positions were available along the major streets in Manhattan Township, organizers said, so recipients were selected via lottery. The banners will remain in place until Veterans Day, when they'll be pulled down and given to families as keepsakes. Village and American Legion leaders will hold the dedication ceremony Sunday, May 24, 2026 at 10 a.m., at Manhattan American Legion Post 935, 230 S. Wabash St. 

The ceremony will close with remarks from Commander Robert Angone.
