a Military Banner Program to honor active-duty military personnel and military veterans that
reside in or have immediate family residing in the City of Dublin, or have had a long-term,
positive impact on the Dublin community. The Program allows for someone to sponsor a
banner to honor an active-duty member or veteran. The banners feature a photo of the
honoree along with their name, rank, and branch of service.
The program has run annually since 2018 but was suspended in 2020 due to COVID-19. In
this seventh year of the program, seven military personnel/veterans were honored. The
banners were located on City streetlight poles along Dougherty Road between Scarlett Drive
and Amador Valley Boulevard, in the vicinity of the Parks Reserve Forces Training Area. The
banners were displayed between Memorial Day and Veterans Day (May through November)
2025.
