Walk along Dougherty Road between
Amador Valley Boulevard and Scarlett Drive
to see the 2018 Banner Program honorees.
Roundtrip walk is approximately one mile.
In early 2018, the Dublin City
Council created a new street banner
program to honor local veterans and
active duty members of the U.S.
Armed Forces.
Community members sponsored
individual banners honoring a service
member who lives in Dublin or who
has immediate family in Dublin.
These banners will be on display along
Dougherty Road between Memorial
Day and Veterans Day 2018.
If you have questions about Dublin’s
Military Banner Program, or would
like to be kept informed about
sponsorship opportunities next year,
please email banners@dublin.ca.gov or
