Santa Fe Heroes banners honoring veterans flying over city after ceremony
Rose Marie Lenahan bows her head during the singing of 'America The Beautiful' as family members of local veterans honored by the Santa Fe Heroes banners gather for a small ceremony as the crews start to head out from the Comcast Service building on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, to start hanging the banners in advance of Veterans Day. Lenahan's husband, Col. Frank Lenahan is getting a banner this year alongside hundreds of other veterans as the Santa Maria De La Paz Knights of Columbus spearhead the project for the second year in a row.
The Santa Fe New Mexican published a great article on the 2025 Santa Fe Heroes banner installation.
"By the dawn's early light" took on a special meaning as Rose-Marie Lenahan sang the national anthem early Wednesday morning while the sun was still coming up over southern Santa Fe.
"That's awfully early to sing," Lenahan joked after a ceremony that started at 5:30 a.m.
