Every year the City of Claremont honors local veterans/active-duty service members by hanging the Claremont Heroes Banners for Veterans Day. Heroes Banners are hung on behalf of veterans/active-duty service members who live in or lived in Claremont, attend or attended Claremont schools, and/or their immediate family live in Claremont. Banners are hung once a year just prior to Veterans Day and are removed the first week of January. The family of the service member/veteran must purchase their banner. The cost of the banner is $200. The banner will be hung for five years. The City will then evaluate the banner. Depending on the condition, after five years, the City will evaluate on a year-by-year basis and can extend the lifetime of the banner. Once the banner has been deemed faded/damaged, the banner will be retired and the family can decide to repurchase a new banner. The City will coordinate with the printing company to get the banner printed and hang the banner at no additional cost to the family. The City will store the banners until they are hung again the next year.
