Duarte residents with family members currently serving in the military will have the opportunity to honor their loved one’s service in the United States with a military recognition banner placed along the City’s main corridor, Huntington Drive.
The City of Hope partnered with the City to launch this banner program by providing funding for the first 30 banners. These banners are available at no cost to the first 30 military personnel to complete a program application, provide necessary verification documents, and are deemed eligible. Additional banners may be purchased or sponsored for $155 each.
The program is meant to honor current military personnel who reside in the City or unincorporated county area of Duarte, or an immediate family member of a Duarte resident. Each banner will have the name and branch of the serviceperson and the sponsor’s name or logo. Upon completion of active duty, the banner will be presented to the honorees by the Duarte Mayor at a City Council meeting.
Applications are available online and at Duarte City Hall (1600 Huntington Drive). Completed applications must include a copy of the military personnel I.D., along with a California I.D., or a utility bill showing a Duarte address of the military service member or his or her immediate family member. Immediate family members are considered wife, husband, son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law.
For additional information, contact the City Manager's Office at Duarte City Hall (626) 357-7931, ext. 267.
