Honoring Our Military:
Military Banner and Paver Program

The City of Moreno Valley continues to install Military Appreciation Banners to honor and recognize those men and women who have served in the past or are currently serving, whether defending the home front or serving overseas. The banners display residents’ name, photo, and branch of service. Our goal is to instill a sense of patriotism and pride throughout our community.
