Veterans Programs

Hometown Heroes Program

The Town of Flower Mound began the Hometown Heroes program in 2012, to honor our community’s men and women who served or are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Those who wish to participate and meet the qualifications can have a banner created with their loved one’s name and photo on it to be displayed in Flower Mound. To find out more, visit the Hometown Heroes webpage.

Flower Mound residents are invited to cheer on the participants in the Flower Mound Veterans Day Relay on Friday, Nov. 10. Throughout the day, participants commemorate our nation's veterans and their service by carrying the American flag on a pre-determined route around Town. The route takes runners by each Lewisville ISD school in Flower Mound, to provide an opportunity for students to encourage the runners. The Veterans Day Relay Run ends with a post-event celebration at the Community Activity Center, and is open to the public. To view the route, please click here.
