VIDEO: “Hometown Heroes” Project Honors New Brighton Veterans & Active Duty

Whether you’re cruising down 65 from Oak Hill or taking 3rd Avenue toward Junction Stretch, soon you’ll be seeing the names and faces of those who served adorning the streets of New Brighton.

This is due to a new project brought forth by the New Brighton Rotary Club and the New Brighton Memorial Day Committee. Members John Proano and Noah Kairis joined Matt Drzik to discuss the “Hometown Heroes” project that has already begun to claim its presence within the town.

Kairis & Proano talked about the inspiration behind getting the project started, the input from local businesses to allow the project to flourish, and the possibility of a Memorial Day ceremony to honor all the veterans and active duty honored through this project.

If you would like to donate to the “Hometown Heroes” project, you can contact the New Brighton Business District Authority or the New Brighton Rotary Club on Facebook.

Such high(er) hopes were the backbone to the discussion between longtime Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk and A.M. Beaver County’s Matt Drzik in talking about the Bucs’ stint in Bradenton so far. Walk mentioned that the depths from which the Pirates resided statistically last year must and should be improved upon, while the young pitching staff might be ready to compete for higher accolades in a couple of years.
