Military Tribute Banner Program
The goal of this program is to honor and recognize Orange City residents and their immediate family members who currently serve or have served in the military.
Thanks to AdventHealth, the program is free for Orange City residents (city limits and unincorporated area) and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please review the requirements and program details below.
The 2023 banner program is full.
