The City of Erlanger offers Military Honor Banners that are displayed from Memorial Day through Veteran’s Day. The purpose of the program is to recognize and honor individuals who are currently serving or who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The honoree’s name, photo, armed service branch and rank are displayed on a banner, flown from existing street utility poles along Dixie Highway and Commonwealth Avenue.
Jack Heist served in the Army as Special Forces between WWII and Korea, then joined the reserves in 1960. He went to Korea TDY for 30 days. He served 41 years combined and held the rank of E-8 for 26 years. He loved jumping out of planes.
