Military Tribute Banner Program
Honor your hero
The City of Eaton’s Military Tribute Banner Program aims to honor our residents’ beloved veterans, active-duty, reserve, and National Guard members with beautiful military banners displayed in our community. This is a way of saying "Thank You" to the brave men and women of our great United States military.
For eligibility to be sponsored with a tribute banner, your service member will need to meet the following criteria:
• Be veterans or active duty, National Guard, Reserves, honorably discharged, or have died in the line of military duty
• Call Eaton their hometown
• Reside or have resided in the City of Eaton during their military service
• Be the immediate family member of a current Eaton resident (spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child-in-law)
Program details
Banners will be 24”x48” and will include the honoree’s photo and basic military information. Banners will be displayed from Memorial Day through Veterans Day. The first set of banners will be displayed for 2024 and 2025, with the exact dates of installation and removal subject to change without notice.
Banners will be proudly displayed on poles along Barron Street, outside historic downtown. There is a limit of 50 banners which will be available for display. (Banners will be given back to the family/sponsor after the second display period, at which time new banner orders will be taken for the next display cycle, to begin with Memorial Day 2026.)
