Tempe's Military Tribute Banner Program

To honor and celebrate veterans, active-duty military, and those preparing today to serve our nation tomorrow.

In partnership with the City of Tempe, Downtown Tempe Authority is proud to to honor veterans and active-duty service members with the Downtown Tempe Military Tribute Banner Program. This program provides an opportunity for community members, businesses, and organizations to honor our military heroes through printed banners installed on Downtown Tempe’s iconic historic lamp posts throughout the Downtown area such as Mill Avenue, 5th Street, and beyond. 

How It Works:

Community members, businesses, or organizations can sponsor a banner to honor a service member in their life by ordering directly through Military Tribute Banners, who will work with you to customize your banner to the highest quality. Please note that payment must be received before design can begin. The banner is customized with a name, photo, and service branch of a military service member. Downtown Tempe Authority is working with Military Tribute Banners to create and print these custom banners. All banners will be displayed in honor of Veteran's Day and Independence Day. Downtown Tempe will take care of storing and hanging the banners. After the November or July display period, the banner will be available for to the purchaser to take home as a keepsake, or to be stored by DTA until the following year. New banners are displayed at no cost for two years, upon the third year an install fee may apply.
