In Wayne County, a family has taken the initiative to pay tribute to military veterans by displaying American flags and the names of those who have served. At their residence in Collinwood, the Hanbacks have set up an impressive array of 200 flags, accompanied by over 400 handwritten names of veterans, all prominently featured on a dedicated wall. This heartfelt tribute also includes a memorial cross adorned with a wreath, as well as a pair of soldiers’ boots, symbolizing the sacrifices made by these brave individuals.
Stan and Darlene Hanback, the homeowners behind this meaningful project, dedicate their time throughout the year to maintain and enhance this tribute. They specifically erect the display to coincide with significant occasions such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Independence Day, ensuring that the contributions of veterans are recognized and honored during these important times. For those interested in witnessing this poignant homage, the artwork can be found on Fourth Avenue North in Collinwood, inviting the community to reflect on the valor and dedication of those who have served in the armed forces.
