City accepting 2026 Veterans banner applications

From Mayor Pam Hoots

The City of Columbia is accepting nomination forms for the 2026 Veterans Banners. The City began this project five years ago; and, it has been received well by the public.

Banners are placed in the areas immediately around the square and just off the public square. Veteran banners are sponsored by family and friends of the nominees. This year the city will be accepting up to forty new banners.


If you have someone you would like to nominate, the following information is to be furnished: Name of Veteran, Date(s) of service, Branch of service, and the individual and/or family sponsoring the banner. You will also need to furnish a photo that can be used for the banner.

The banners are cycled out after a period of three years. The banner is given to the person who sponsored the original banner. If your banner is on the list to be cycled out this year, you can renew and get another banner.

We are limited in space; and, there already is a waiting list for the forty spots for this year. Please contact Sydney at City Hall at 270-384-2501 for more information.

These are the banners that will be cycled out this year. You will be able to pickup after Wednesday, February 18.
