Love this!
Thank you! My hero banner is up.
U must be proud sis i feel it too…i show albert just now he is glad for you ..but can’t belive thats his little Fermin Vasquez..
Where is it?
Dan Garcia, Valencia BLVD, a little before toppers pizza. I post up on my fb timeline. With exact location. Check it out.
Awesome idea! These banners should be up 365 days a year.
Thank you for your service and the support you give our Military Santa Clarita. We should have a fund raiser so every service man and women from SC has one up there.
Yes.. Good idea, my Son is a Marine but honestly these banners are a little out of my budget.
Elizabeth
Please contact me at City Hall, I have sponsors that will assist you in buying a banner for your son.
I could only hope! My brother is in the Navy and in Guam. It is too expensive for us. It would be awesome to have businesses sponsor a military member.
You can ask local businesses to donate. If you get enough you can pay for someone else as well.
Kim Spargur Siebe
So nice to see this done for our heroes. Thank you Santa Clarita. It brought tears to my eyes when I saw this. ????
Other cities have one installation charge and the banners stay up until the service members are no longer serving.
Samantha Graham-Tolmach
I should get one for scott
Samantha Graham-Tolmach it is pricy
Doris Tolmach Gene Tolmach
Lisa Sweet-Graham yeah no thanks after seeing the price
Out neighbor got one for their son, Devon. It’s in front of jack n the box
This is such an honor. Its unfortunate that the families had to pay for the banners instead of the city.
What???? Unbelievable.
Love this! My son is in Army basic training as we speak. Hoping he never gets deployed because this momma can’t handle it even though I support him greatly! Thanks to all who serve!
Tanya Jordan -Romo
I know that same exact feelings. Please feel free to pm me anytime if you need someone to talk with. My son graduated this year, January 15, and hot deployed February 17… literally 1 month after graduation. God bless your hero where ever he is.
My son is in the Air Force ??
It’ll be 3 years in August. He’s currently deployed in Kuwait. It’s a tough road for us moms. Hang in there ??
Thank them for their service!
Hi Ladies I am a Vet , anything I can do please feel free to call me. I hope your children never get hurt but if they do I can help them with their benefits. I have learned from experience how to deal with the VA. God bless all our military .
Thank you
do what my wife does, meet and talk with other moms, met up, have fun, vet your stress with whom understand……
Thank you all!! It’s been a rough few weeks!
our son graduated fort benning ga in January, he has been in Afghanistan since early February
we have messager with him often, but have not heard from him in about 3 weeks now, your in a family that will take care of its own, no matter the branch, just don’t be shy to reach out
Born and raised in Valencia, joined the Army in 2009, been sent to a lot of places, in the Middle East now.
Cory Lagusker, Thank you for your service!
Cory Lagusker ~ Thank you for your service.
I understand all you millitary moms, personally I had and still have a hard time with my son being gone. I have never discourage or encourage his decision, but I learned to respect it. My husband (Mike Bober) have always been sopportive of our boy decision. And he is right I vent my feelings out with my family. But it helps a lot to vent with other Moms as well.
My son’s childhood friend (Mom) and I try to get a group of millitary Moms together, but because of work schedule it fell through. If you Laddies wish we can start a Millitary Moms Club.
Where we can meet each other once a month to talk. Lunch, dinner, drinks, or coffee, ect. Nothing fancy just us venting with each other. Feel free to pm me and tell what you millitary moms think.
I thought about starting a fb page of some sort, just never looked into it. I’m in! It’s nice to talk to other military moms.
Christine Barnes Wing! Sending u a friend request.
Christine please do start one because I’d like to join. I won’t accept friend request on my own personal page for privacy issues for myself, family and friends but I am part of groups.
Patricia Alvarado, I’d like some info please if you could my husband is a veteran and I’d like to help him get started on getting his.
Will there be a banner for Dean Todd Jr 3/25/83 – 8-31-04. Active duty. R.I.P. JR
Died while on active duty
Now this is a great investment into santa clarita not some stupid red light violation lights
The city isn’t paying for these. The parents pay for them.
that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard, disgraceful really.
I wish these and the flags can stay up year around
Alana – Are we going to see one for Dylan?
Love this!! ??
I just sent a msg!! Thank you!!
$417.50 plus tax!! To have one hung!!
I called and the price I got for two years is $557
I’m guessing that’s with tax? And a little extra! Lol
Holy moly! You should do a GoFundMe to get one hung for him
Mechele Molina I thought of that but I’d b kinda embarrassed:(
How much is the city charging residents to honor their own residents?
400.00
That’s just shameful and WRONG, IMO
My mother in law is getting one for my husband and they’re charging about $550. The banner will be put up 3 times a year for two years. Wish it was free?
Even worse…
As a military mom, I agree this is so shameful that we as parents of military children have to pay so much for recognition of our heroes service! Donations from business should of taken the cost away!
I know that guy
Chelsea, read my post from just a bit earlier.
Steven Bocek can’t find it
Click on my profile. It is the first post
Nick Randolph ?
Kathleen Herbert Randolph
I clicked love but have to say I am ashamed of our city for charging our heroes for these banners so many that wont get seen because their families cannot afford one. I just want to say thank you to every single one of you on a banner or not.

Leslie Van Aalst Reasonover never mind, I have all the info I need now ?

My daughter has been in for nearly 5 years, on her way to her second deployment. We’ve volunteered, helped, donated, like so many other proud military families…. And I can’t justify paying $400 to the city knowing what the actual cost is.
We will honor those who can, and even those who can’t afford to.
Sorry to here that. My daughter had a banner for her in Burbank. No cost to us & she received the banner when it was time to put up another service member. Very nice.
How do you get the banners? I would love to get one for my husband.
Those (grew up in SCV) who paid the ultimate price for this country, while serving, should get it for free and forever…. I know of at least 3 Army Soldiers that I grew up with that all died before the age of 25.
The gold star families do not have to pay, thankfully.
Oh I didnt know of that program
Very classy …give real respect were it is deserved ?
I would love for Scott to have one. I’ve always appreciated seeing them in Simi Valley. I’m very surprised how pricey they are.
Awesometown Rocks!
I was delighted to look up and see Andrew Ferguson on the first banner. Andrew is one of my all time favorite former students at Mountainview! Thanks for your service Andrew!??????????
They are charging $417.50 plus tax!!!! Omg!!!! Way to go SCV!!
Kathleen Herbert Randolph! Look who it is in the photo they used! So cool!
Proud mama bear!!
George
Burbank had this program. My daughter was honored with a banner for her service in the Air Force. Thank you to All that have served!
Such an honor. But shame on you “CITY” for charging($500). How bout not wasting so much money and honor our hometown heroes for free. That’s the right thing to do. ?
I cried driving home from work the other day when I saw Ricky’s face on the memorial bridge- so many years since we’ve seen that handsome face. Rip. Thank you all for your service.
Love it!!!!! What a great idea!!!!! Warms my heart every time I drive past our Hero Banners!!!! Reminds me to pray for each of them!!!! Bless you all!!!!
Wait! Why are we changing to hang these? Just read that! Hmmmm……
Not to be a negative Nellie,but ……..
Rene Alcantar
I wanna find mine ?
Azusa has this program about 11 years ago.
Id rather not have my face up for everyone to see. But I do agree, fallen Mil should not have to pay money for this.
I saw some of them, great idea!
I saw those yesterday on the bridge ?
So proud to see my sons banner up. Such a great way to show support for our military.
It would be interesting to know who the company was that printed the banners. Maybe in the future they could use it as a tax write off for a donation to print them for free or low cost and then city workers can donate time to place them during off hours.
Love this!!!
That’s great they are being honored but really sad that the families have to pay for it and if they don’t they don’t get recognized. How horrible. Thank you for your service!!
