La Mirada~Banners featuring the names of those serving in the United States Armed Forces are now on display from utility light poles on Rosecrans Avenue.

"La Mirada is home to many brave men and women in serving our country," said Mayor Gabe Garcia. "These banners are a reminder of their efforts to protect our great nation."

La Mirada's Military Banner program recognizes La Mirada residents who are currently serving in the United States Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, or National Guard.

To be eligible for the program, the serviceperson being recognized must be serving on active duty and be a current La Mirada resident.  An immediate family member may also submit an application for the program on their behalf.

Participants need to complete an application and include a copy of the driver's license or a current utility bill showing proof of residency of the military serviceperson or his/her immediate family.
