The City of Rolling Hills Estates Military Service Banner Program has been established to honor and recognize active-duty military personnel and military veterans who reside in, or have immediate family living on, the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Banners will be proudly displayed throughout the commercial areas along Silver Spur Road and Deep Valley Drive to celebrate our military heroes and commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, serving as an expression of appreciation for their dedication and service.
