Receive and File: Military Recognition Options Update <br />September 15, 2020 <br />Page 2 <br />Launch a Digital Registry for Santa Ana Residents to Share Contact Information of Veterans <br />As a way for military veterans to share their contact information, staff has set up a form on our City <br />website where residents who have served in the Armed Forces can self -report their basic contact <br />information (name, address, email, and phone number) and their service information (branch of <br />service, entry date, and discharge date). The form is accessible at <br />www.santa-ana.org/form/veteran-registry-form. <br />Implement a Banner Program and Consider Corporate Sponsorship to Pay for the Banners <br />Cities across the United States utilize their street light and utility poles to display commemorative <br />banners to recognize their residents who have served in the U.S. military. To implement these <br />types of programs, it is common that the custom street banners display the name, branch, and year <br />that the individual served, and are placed along main roads throughout the cities. The City of Santa <br />Ana could utilize its existing street light/utility pole banner program to implement this option. Staff <br />estimates that the cost for each banner, which includes the printed banner, display hardware, <br />installation, and removal, is approximately $275 per banner. There is no funding source identified <br />for this item. <br />Establish a Veterans Museum <br />To celebrate the legacy of Orange County veterans, to honor their sacrifices, and to educate and <br />inspire the community through their stories and personal experiences, in 2016 Orange County <br />government officials established Heroes Hall —a free, permanent, year-round museum and <br />education center with exhibitions, performances and educational programs that celebrate the <br />legacy of Orange County veterans and others who have served in the U.S. military. The two-story <br />exhibition space rotates themes semi-annually, with each focusing on an aspect of the personal <br />stories and experiences of veterans. Housed in a renovated 1942 Santa Ana Army Air Base <br />barracks building, Heroes Hall consists of 3,600 square feet of exhibition space, as well as the <br />Medal of Honor Courtyard and Orange County Walk of Honor (which was relocated from the <br />Orange County Civic Center in 2016). <br />Veterans museums, such as Heroes Hall, serve as place -based hubs for the public to engage in <br />learning about local military veterans, access collections for educational purposes, and participate <br />in civic dialogue. Although it is located outside of city limits, Heroes Hall serves the Santa Ana <br />community. At this time, staff recommends that the City Council not consider establishing a <br />veterans museum in Santa Ana. As an alternative, the City can find ways to support Heroes Hall, <br />such as by providing a one-time or on -going donation. <br />Pursue Military Recognition Programming for Upcoming Fourth of July Events <br />For the past several years, the City of Santa Ana has hosted an annual Fourth of July celebration <br />at Centennial Park. The purpose of the event is to provide shared space for the community to <br />celebrate and recognize the independence of the United States, as well as to commemorate those <br />who have served in the U.S. military and have fought for and preserved the freedoms that residents <br />enjoy. Currently, as part of the Fourth of July celebration's programming, U.S. military veterans in <br />attendance are invited to gather at the main stage area to be recognized.
