Sixteen hometown military veterans and active duty service members will be honored for their service to their country during an annual ceremony on May 18.
The “Avenue of Heroes” program, sponsored by the City of Coronado and the Avenue of Heroes Committee, was created to provide a way for the Coronado community to honor those who have served, or have called the city home, during their military careers. The program is open to those who have served, or are currently serving, in the U.S. military.
Those being honored will be featured on banners that will be displayed along the Avenue of Heroes, located along Third and Fourth streets from Orange Avenue to Naval Air Station North Island, throughout mid-May to first week of November.
The Avenue of Heroes ceremony is being held at 10:30 a.m. on May 18 at the Coronado High School Performing Arts Center. Those interested in attending are invited to do so. Refreshments will be served, and golf carts will be available to shuttle attendees.
