Description

Here's another shot of the Memorial. This is on the opposite side of the shot from yesterday. The writing's sort of tough to read in spots with the reflections from the sun, so I'll type it out below. "Hundreds of thousands of sailors went to sea and fought in World War II, perhaps the most singular unifying event in the history o fhte United States. These young Americans set aside their individual hopes and aspirations, left families, homes and jobs in a collective sacrifice to defend their country and their common ideas. The men of the USS San Diego (CL-53) remembered here are emblematic of all who fought for victory in the epic struggle." John
