About the Program

The Ukiah Hometown Heroes Program is a living tribute created for the community to recognize and honor Ukiah residents and their family members who are serving, or are veterans who have served, our country in the United States Armed Forces. Each banner will be in honor of a specific Ukiah service person and will include their name, branch of service and a photo. Banners will be displayed utilizing the City of Ukiah banner program on street lamps in Downtown Ukiah from September 11th – November 11th to both celebrate and remind the community of their dedication to our country. This program is funded and administered in partnership with the Ukiah Police Department, City of Ukiah Community Services Department and local business sponsors and individuals. The heroes will have their photo and biography on our website www.ukiahhometownheroes.org and recognition on our social media platforms.
