Eastvale – The City of Eastvale’s Military Banner Program recognizes and honors Eastvale residents and immediate family members that are serving on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. For the purpose of this program, “Active Duty” is defined as 12 months of continuous service.
To participate in the program, each application will be reviewed to ensure that the following requirements are met before a banner is created and displayed within City limits:

• Applicant must be a current City of Eastvale resident and include a copy of driver’s license or a current utility bill showing the Eastvale address.
• Applicant must be an immediate family member of the serviceperson. Immediate family members are classified as the serviceperson’s spouse, parent, child, grandchild, sibling, or legal guardian.
• Banners can be created with the serviceperson’s portrait or without. Portraits should be of the serviceperson in formal uniform and a minimum of 1MB in size. If emailing the portrait, please ensure the file is a JPG or PNG format. Applicants are responsible for supplying the picture and all pictures will be returned.

Once the application is approved, the Eastvale Community Foundation will create the banner. Banners will remain on display as long as the banner honoree is still on active duty. The installation location and the removal of the banners are the Foundation’s discretion. Banners will be returned to the applicant upon removal, if available.
In the event a service person is killed in the line of duty, his/her banner will be removed and replaced with a “Gold Star” banner indicating their sacrifice, or presented to his/her family at a City Council meeting – depending on the family’s wishes.

The Eastvale Military Banner Program is funded completely by the Eastvale Community Foundation through their fundraising efforts as well as donations from local businesses, residents and supporters. Any donation is greatly appreciated.

Military Banners are printed when donations are made available.  If you are interested in donating to Eastvale’s Military Banner Program, please send your contribution to:
