Miami Lakes Veterans Committee requires uniform photos for banner program
Summary
The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee voted to amend the veterans-banner application to require submitted photos show the veteran in uniform, the committee said at its meeting.
The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee voted to amend its veterans-banner application so submitted photographs must show the veteran in uniform, the committee said at its meeting.
Committee members said the change is intended to standardize banner images and reduce submissions the committee considers inappropriate for a veterans commemoration program.
The committee discussed concerns about photos that depict veterans in civilian or flamboyant attire. One committee member proposed amending the application to require a uniform photo; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Committee members noted that some veterans may not have a uniform photo available and discussed how to handle those cases, but they adopted the uniform-photo requirement as written. The committee did not record a formal exception process at the meeting.
The change will be applied to future banner requests. Committee staff said they received a donation from Miami Lakes Automall to cover banner costs and that recent banner expenses were invoiced to the town.
