Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program

sponsored by:Advent Health

The City of Orange City Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program was coordinated for Orange City residents to pay tribute to and honor family members that are active or past military service personnel. The City of Orange City would like to pay tribute to their service and commitment to our nation and our community by flying a prestigious banner in the City’s historic corridor as a way to publicly express our gratitude.

There is no cost to apply to this program thanks to presenting sponsor AdventHealth Fish Memorial. All honorees selected will be displayed on a banner in the City’s historic corridor and the banner will be gifted to the honoree or honorees family at the conclusion of the display.
