Military Tribute Banner Program Returns to Palm Bay
PALM BAY, FLORIDA – The City of Palm Bay is proud to announce the return of their Military Tribute Banner Program honoring the world’s greatest defenders of freedom, the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Beginning this Veterans Day, active-duty military, and veterans with ties to Palm Bay, will be honored with patriotic banners displayed at one of three locations throughout the city.
The inaugural program saw 37 different banners displayed at Palm Bay City Hall and Veterans Memorial Park from Veterans Day through Memorial Day. This year there are expected to be even more banners commissioned.
Palm Bay residents and business owners are invited to honor their beloved veterans, active-duty, reserve, and National Guard members by sponsoring a beautiful 24” x 48” full color banner featuring a photo of the honoree, their name, service details, as well as the name of the sponsoring family or business. The tribute banners will be displayed at Palm Bay City Hall, Veterans Memorial Park, or Fred Poppe Regional Park from Veterans Day 2021 through Memorial Day 2022.
The cost to sponsor a banner is $110 and reservations will be first come, first served. Participants will receive the banner after it is taken down next year as a keepsake and a “thank you” from the City of Palm Bay. Banners which are ordered and paid for before September 1, 2021, will sell for the early-bird price of $100. Gold Star families will receive their banner at no cost.
To sponsor a banner and for program details, visit www.militarytributebanners.org and select Palm Bay from the “Current Programs” dropdown menu or contact Andy Dimmig at andy.dimmig@pbfl.org.
