The Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial stands high on La Jolla’s Mt. Soledad, offering panoramic views of San Diego, University City, the mountains, the Pacific Ocean and Mexico. It is the only memorial that honors veterans, living or deceased, from the Revolutionary War to the current war on terrorism, with an image of the veteran.
