Lansdale Woman Honored For 'Hometown Heroes' Banner Idea

LANSDALE, PA -- A Lansdale woman was recognized at Wednesday's borough council meeting for her unique contributions to the community: the Hometown Heroes banners displayed throughout the area.

Anne Henning-Scheuring's project involved putting the names and faces of local residents who have served in the armed forces on banners and displaying them throughout the downtown district. Residents who have served in the military dating back to the Civil War are honored on the banners.

On Wednesday, Borough Councilman Ray Liberto made a presentation commending the work done by Scheuring, handing her a black.

"A well deserved plaque from the Lansdale residents (was given) to Anne Henning Scheuring stating their appreciation for her hard work and dedication with the Hometown Hero's Banner project and what a positive change it made to our town. Thank you Ray, thank you Lansdale residents and of course, thank you Anne," the borough said in a statement.

Henning-Scheuring volunteers on several other projects throughout the community.
