The Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial located in the La Jolla area of San Diego, CA is a must visit location in the city. The view from the top is breathtaking as you can see almost the entire city of San Diego and beaches of La Jolla. The cross at the memorial, which was built in 1954, has been the subject of controversy over the years, as the land was formerly publicly owned and lawsuits were filed over a cross being on public land. The issue was finally resolved in 2015 when the Department of Defense sold the land to the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial Association for $1.4 million dollars.
The memorial is surrounded by plaques honoring veterans from all branches of service. We saw plaques honoring veterans from WWI to the present, including one for former president Gerald Ford.
Mt. Soledad is an overlooked place for visitors to San Diego, but the views from there are second to none in the city.
