Council reauthorizes military tribute banners after presentation by 3 Rivers DAR coordinator
Summary
Kelly Miller, new coordinator for Milton’s military tribute banner program on behalf of the 3 Rivers DAR, asked the council to continue the partnership. The council unanimously reauthorized the program (item 2026‑3970).
Kelly Miller, the newly announced coordinator for the military tribute banner program and a member of the 3 Rivers chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, spoke to the Milton City Council on April 14 and asked the city to continue its partnership to install tribute banners honoring local veterans and active duty service members.
Miller described the program’s goals of honoring service, preserving history, and enhancing downtown character by installing banners from Memorial Day through Veterans Day. She encouraged residents to sponsor honorees through the program website and said the chapter would work with the city’s facilities team on installation and removal.
Councilman Leek moved to reauthorize the partnership for the program (item 2026‑3970); Councilman Powell seconded the motion, and the council approved it unanimously.
Why it matters: The banner program serves as a visible recognition of local service members and is run in coordination with a local DAR chapter; the council’s reauthorization supports the program’s continuation and street‑level installation schedule.
What’s next: Staff and the DAR chapter will coordinate logistics, sponsorship deadlines and installation schedules for the April 24 rollout and the Memorial‑to‑Veterans Day display period.
