是圣地亚戈靠外海的高地 Mount Soledad, 为一战二战和韩战阵亡将士所建。国人的墓地很多选在荒山上,国外墓园一般选在景色秀丽的地方, 如果盖豪宅,可是价值连城。
纽约时报有报道: Since 1913 a cross has stood prominently on Mount Soledad in San Diego, first placed there as an explicitly religious symbol. The current cross, 43 feet high, was erected in 1954 and dedicated “as a lasting memorial to the dead of the first and second World Wars and the Korean conflict.” Only in the 1990s was a veterans memorial, consisting of plaques surrounding the cross, added to the site.
