  • The Boulevard of Heroes Banners Program is the City of Edinburg’s continued efforts to honor and recognize Edinburg’s brave men and women who are currently serving or have previously served our country. Selected veteran’s will have their photo and accompanying information gathered to be incorporated into a commemorative banner that will then be installed on a city light post along West University Drive, Hidalgo County Courthouse, and Closner Boulevard, also known as “The Boulevard of Heroes”.

  • Aside from a required photo of their selected veteran in uniform, applicants will need to provide the following:

    • Veteran’s full legal name

    • Branch of Service

    • Military Rank

    • The beginning and end dates of their service, or if they are currently serving

    • Any wars or operations they were involved in

    • Any medals, awards, or commendations they received
