The walls of Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial are as unique as the veterans who adorn them. Unlike other veteran’s memorials, they choose to honor veterans both living and deceased. They believe a service member should know how grateful their nation is for their service. Grateful to their donors who helped with further mission Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial recently hosted a reception at a private home in La Jolla.
