Almost two years ago exactly, the Monongahela Area Historical Society helped to set up an account at DeVore Hardware to cover the cost of maintaining the veterans banners that hung up throughout the city and New Eagle. In June 2020, the MAHS held a one-time fundraiser in hopes of getting $200 to repair 21 veterans banners that hadn’t been hung because they were in need of repair. The Monongahela Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1409 on East Main Street is in charge of the veterans banners, but lacked the funds to get the repairs made.
