MORENO VALLEY>> The City of Moreno Valley encourages residents to submit applications for Military Appreciation Banners and Pavers by Oct. 14 to ensure they are in place by the Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11. The city installs Military Appreciation Banners and Pavers in support of local military personnel and their families. The program helps promote patriotism and pride throughout our community by recognizing men and women who have served in the past or present, whether defending the home front or serving overseas. The Military Appreciation Banner program is partially sponsored by the Moreno Valley Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Committee. As a result of its contribution, the total cost for a banner to be created and installed on a city street light pole is $100. Current military banners can be located online using the city's new GIS-based banner mapping tool found on the city website. The Veteran's Military Program Pavers are located around the Memorial on the civic center plaza. The pavers are separate from the military banners and are inscribed with the name of military veterans, active duty service personnel and the branch of service. The nominee must be currently serving or have served in the U.S. military and/or with a U.S. ally and the cost for the pavers is $200. Please contact the City's Parks & Community Services Department at 951.413.3701 or visit www.moval.org to access more information and the application.
