May is a time for reflection and recognition in Cuyahoga Falls as we come together as a community to honor service. This month, we will gather for the Police Memorial Service and Memorial Day Parade to honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our community and country.

In recognition of Military Appreciation Month, I’m proud to announce our new Veteran Banner Program honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, past and present. Commemorative banners will be installed along Portage Trail from 13th Street to Lillis Drive from Independence Day through Veterans Day. Each banner will feature a military photo, the service member's name, branch of service, and years served. If you are interested in purchasing a banner, program details are available at the link below.

I encourage residents to join us in recognizing and thanking those who have dedicated so much in service to others.

— Mayor Don Walters
