October 6, 2015 - City crews have installed three additional banners as part of the Blue Star Banner program, which recognizes City of Fort Wayne residents and City government employees who are actively deployed.

The banners that were placed honor:
*Staff Sergeant Mark Federspiel, U.S. Marine Corp
