Applications for display year 2026 will be accepted May 1, 2025 to November 11, 2025 or until all spaces are filled, whichever comes first.   

The Livermore Military Banner Program honors local veterans, active-duty and retired members of the U.S. armed forces.  Banners will be displayed in Stockman's Park from Memorial Day through Veterans Day, and afterwards they will be presented to the families at a future City Council meeting. The City of Livermore will then reopen the process for the next year.

Current Livermore residents may honor family members with a banner featuring:

• Name
• Rank
• Service Branch
• Duty Status
• Photo of Honoree

The cost of the banner is $185. Banners will be 18" x 36" and are double sided. Payment will not be due until application is approved, service is verified, and space is confirmed available. Once an application is accepted, staff will contact the applicant for payment.  Payment can be made via check, debit or credit card.  A 3% bank processing fee is added to all debit/credit transactions. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once all locations have been reserved, the application period will close.
