Hometown Heroes

At ALCOVA Mortgage, we proudly recognize the incredible contributions of our Veterans through the Hometown Hero program. Since 2014, this initiative has allowed us to honor those who have sacrificed so much for our country. We show our gratitude by awarding each Veteran a plaque and a $500 check. This small token acknowledges their service, not only in uniform but also in the communities they continue to impact. Their bravery and commitment inspire us every day, and we are privileged to celebrate their lasting legacy.

Key Features:

  • Recognition of Veterans through the Hometown Hero program
  • $500 check and plaque as a token of appreciation
  • Honoring service in the military and contributions to the community
  • Celebrating courage and sacrifice
