Mt Soledad has always played an important role in the military – first as a viewpoint for President Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet and later as an observation point and transmission tower during WWII. It is therefore a very fitting place for a Veterans Memorial which honors both living and deceased members of the military forces. At the center of the memorial there is a huge cross which honors all those who lost their lives in the 2 World Wars and the Korean Conflict. The remainder of the moving memorial is mainly comprised of a series of polished stone walls, each of which bears many granite plaques with photos and information honoring a veteran.
