The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University (MFRI) is collaborating with Hamilton North Public Library to honor military members, veterans and their families in the third annual Our Heroes Tree program.
Through this program, MFRI and HNPL are working to honor past and present service members and create an awareness of military families currently affected by deployment. Our Heroes’ Tree is a national program founded to recognize and honor the sacrifices of current service members, veterans, and deceased service members. Participating libraries will display a tree featuring handmade ornaments created by community members to honor a service member.
To participate in Our Heroes’ Tree, simply create a handmade ornament honoring the service member from past and present wars, conflicts or peacetime operations. Bring the ornament to Hamilton North Public Library where it will be placed on the tree with other commemorative ornaments. Ornaments may be created at HNPL. We have a table near the tree with materials. Stories about individual service members can also be submitted and displayed near the tree.
