Veteran's Memorial Garden

Description:

Last year when we were in San Diego, we visited Balboa Park. There was a lot to see and do. One of the things which was moving was the Veteran's Museum-it was closed then. So we wanted to visit it with Gary's Dad who served in World War II. Unfortunately, it was closed on Monday's. So we were content with seeing the Veteran's Memorial Garden, in front of the Center.

From Veteran's Museum site:
The site chosen for the location of the Veterans Museum & Memorial Center was the former San Diego Naval Hospital Chapel at Inspiration Point in Balboa Park, part of a complex of architecturally significant buildings with rich historical connections to the San Diego region's naval heritage.
