The City of Norco is seeking sponsors for their patriotic banner program. The banners, a way to show Norco's appreciation for the soldier's service, will be displayed on Sixth Street for a three month period - either May through August, or August through November. Sponsors may honor a soldier who's hometown is listed as "Norco, CA" and either is currently is serving or has previously served in the Navy, Airforce, Marines, Coast Guard, Army, or National Guard. The 36 banner locations are available on a first come, first served basis.
While the City of Norco is directing this program at loved ones of the soldiers to be
honored, it would be great to see some local businesses support our troops by sponsoring a $90 banner on behalf of a local family. The banners will be returned to the sponsor to keep after their display period, and of course, if sponsored by someone outside the family, can be passed along to the family as a keepsake.
Applications for the banners can be downloaded from the City of Norco website, and are due by April 14, 2011. This is the second year that Norco will display the patriotic banners, and is a great way to keep our local service men and women on our minds and in our prayers.
