Applications for Military Banners will be accepted from September 5, 2023, through September 28, 2023.

The City of Barstow’s Military Banner Program was created to recognize and celebrate Barstow residents or their immediate family members (spouse, parent, grandparent, legal guardian, child, or sibling) who are currently serving on active duty in the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, or National Guard).

To be eligible for the Military Banner Program:

•  The active serviceperson: or their immediate family member, must be a resident of Barstow and provide a valid ID or Driver’s license and a current utility bill.

• Be serving on active duty.  For the purpose of this program, active duty is defined as twelve (12) months of continuous service in the United States Armed Forces.

Once approved, the banners will be installed along Main St, Barstow Rd, and Veterans Parkway during the month of November. We will host a special ceremony on Veterans Day to celebrate the banner installation. The banners will remain up for two (2) years and will be returned to the applicant upon removal, if available.

In the event a serviceperson loses their life during active duty, his/her banner will be removed and presented to his/her family at a City Council meeting depending on the family’s wishes.
