The City of Coronado invites the community to attend a ceremony to honor the latest group of hometown military veterans or active-duty service members on Saturday, November 4 at 10:30 am in the Coronado High School Performing Arts Center, located at 650 D Avenue. The doors open at 10 am.
The “hometown heroes” will be celebrated as part of the program’s 17th group. Banners commemorating the current honorees will be displayed from November 2023 through May 2024 along the “Avenue of Heroes,” located on Third and Fourth Streets from Orange Avenue to Naval Air Station North Island.
The Avenue of Heroes is a military service recognition program sponsored by the City of Coronado. The program recognizes the many men and women who currently live or have lived in Coronado during their military careers. Each year, the dedicated members of the Avenue of Heroes Committee select nominees to be honored in either May or November. Nominations are accepted on an ongoing basis and the public is encouraged to nominate a deserving veteran, living or deceased.
