SUMMIT TWP — Photos of Jenny Davis’ father, husband and son are all displayed in the front yard of her home in Herman.

She had ordered lawn signs featuring each of their military photos through a project organized by Garret Kamerer, a Butler Area High School senior who organized the initiative to earn his Eagle Scout rank.

A two-fold endeavor, Kamerer’s project included printing yard signs with the military photos for people and printing veteran banners to hang on utility poles along Bonniebrook and Herman roads in Summit Township.

Davis picked up the prints Wednesday outside the Herman Volunteer Fire Company, where the scouts were distributing hundreds of prints to people who ordered them.

“I was really excited they were doing this,” Davis said. “It is pretty sentimental.”

Kamerer said his Eagle Scout project took months to pull off.
