Mission:

To honor and remember veterans, living and deceased.

Results:

We built a magnificent monument to veterans that includes six granite-covered walls, walkways, a memorial cross and a flagpole on a half-acre site with the most spectacular vista in San Diego. To date we have installed over 2,700 granite plaques on those memorial walls honoring veterans from all wars and all areas of the country.
