The Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial is now considered one of the most unique in America. It is the only one honoring veterans, living and deceased, from the evolutionary War to the current conflicts in the Middle East. Plaques include a picture of the veteran with a brief summary of their military experience.
Currently there are over 3,000 black granite plaques on the Memorial Walls including Presidents, Medal of Honor recipients, Admirals, Generals, Hollywood heroes and 3,000 others who have proudly served their country helping to preserve the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
