This cross has been the source of controversy for some time. Some local atheist wants it removed even though it`s on private property. It provides a fantastic 360 view of la jolla down to mission bay and over to the downtown area.

Here is the wall that both living and deceased veterans can be a part of. This is a great memorial to those who have fought for our freedom in wartime.

Ft. Rosecrans Military Cemetary

Originally uploaded by icon tact.

From atop Pt. Loma, in the Ft. Rosecrans Military Cemetary, the scene of heroes is displayed for anyone to see. Problem is, if you are not looking for it, you may pass it by. I`m not sure of the count buried here, but the military did a special thing by allowing the spouses of these veterans to not only be buried near, but to also share opposing sides of the grave marker. Many spouses have more recent burials denoting a loss that may be 50 years past. You can find this special place on the way up to the Cabrillo monument in San Diego.
