More Blue Star Banners Raised in Fort Wayne

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne is adding more banners to its Blue Star Banner display on West Jefferson Boulevard.

The City started the program in 2014, as a way to honor residents or city employees who were actively deployed with the military.
Since that time,  39 banners – each representing a service member, have been hung. Ten have been been placed in 2015.

Recently added banners include:
*Sergeant Laura Bonano, U.S. Army
*Petty Officer Second Class Liam M. Fazio, U.S. Navy 
*Lance Corporal Kaine H. Lightner, U.S. Marine Corp
*Private First Class Nicklas Smith, U.S. Army

The banners hang on light poles stretching along West Jefferson through November. The banners will then be presented to the service members.
