My name is Justin Choi, and I am a Leonia resident and a senior at Bergen Catholic High School. I am proud to say that I am an Eagle Scout with Leonia's Scouts BSA Troop 71. 

My brother Christian Choi started the Leonia Veteran Banners Program as part of his Eagle Scout project. In December 2023, his goal was to create memorial portrait banners of veterans to display throughout Leonia. We felt that it was important to honor our veterans, those who served and sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we enjoy. For Memorial Day 2024, the program was successful in producing 57 banners. For Veterans Day 2024, an additional 22 banners were produced. This project was 100% community funded, and the community came out strong. We are proud to report that the project generated over $20,000 in contributions and produced 79 banners, and we look forward to doing EVEN MORE. 

The Banners are going up and being installed now for Veterans Day - November 11, 2026. 

The window for submitting a veteran’s banner information is NOW OPEN until September 1st, 2026. First Come, First Serve! 

Our goal is to produce an additional 58 banners. We CANNOT ACCEPT ANY LATE applications, so please submit your requests as soon as possible.
