Salute Our Troops Banner Program

In every corner of our City, there are stories of valor, dedication and resilience waiting to be celebrated. A unique banner program is being launched to honor and pay tribute to those brave individuals who selflessly serve or have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. This program symbolizes our gratitude and respect for those who have sacrificed to keep us safe and secure.

Honorees must currently reside or have an immediate family member who resides in Wentzville and also be one of the following:

• Presently serving full-time active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces
• A retired or honorably discharged military veteran
• A member of the U.S. Armed Forces who died while on active duty

Banners will be displayed on light poles in select areas of Wentzville between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Locations are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will accept the first 40 to complete the application and submit payment. These banners will serve as a visual reminder of the extraordinary people who call our community home and inspire us to strive for greatness.

Submission of application requires:

• An application
• Proof of City of Wentzville residency
• 5 inch x 7 inch quality photo in .jpeg format of service person in uniform
• Military verification (DD214 – Veteran, Military ID – Active Duty)
• $150 payment to the City of Wentzville

• Records Request For Veterans and Next of Kin
• Personnel Files Request From General Public

For any questions, concerns or to schedule an appointment for application assistance, please contact (636) 639-7559 or Anna.Hoff@wentzvillemo.gov.

We are currently accepting applications for 2027. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. Applications will be processed in the order they are received, provided all required information is included. Applicants will be prompted to finalize their payment once their application has been reviewed in January 2027.

We urge all applicants to carefully review their applications for accuracy before submission, as the banners will be produced based on the details provided in the application form. Applications will close once 40 are received or on March 31, 2027, whichever comes first.
