PERTH AMBOY PROUD: HONORING OUR HOMETOWN HEROES!

The City of Perth Amboy's Hometown Hero program is a heartfelt initiative that recognizes our local active duty service members and veterans.

Beautiful light pole banners are proudly displayed throughout our city, showcasing the names and faces of those who have served or are currently serving our country.

These banners serve as a public testament to their remarkable service and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

Each banner is strategically placed on the light poles in the following locations:

Smith Street, State Street, New Brunswick Avenue, Amboy Avenue, and Hall Avenue.
