Veteran Recognition Program

Are you, or an immediate member of your household, a veteran? Join the City of Yorba Linda and participate in this community program by displaying your veteran flag or banner. The Veteran Recognition Program is designed to honor and recognize Veterans living in Yorba Linda. The Veterans banners are 18" x 48" and are designed to be displayed on residences by affixing the banner to the eaves of the structure, patio cover, overhang, or other method. The flags are 3' x 5' and can be displayed using a traditional flag pole that many people use to display seasonal banners. Each flag/banner will state "A Yorba Linda Veteran Lives Here" and will have the logo of the military branch in which the veteran served. Banners are $25 each and flags are $30 each.

Veterans who have served this country in the United States Armed Forces (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Navy or Marines) and currently reside in Yorba Linda are eligible to participate in this program. Only one banner or flag is allowed per residence. If multiple veterans reside at one address, one banner/flag will recognize all individuals.
