Make a Difference This Holiday Season at Mt. Soledad


Imagine a place where every name etched in stone tells a story of bravery and sacrifice. At Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial, each sunset over the Pacific is a tribute to the heroes who have shaped our nation’s history.

This year, Mt. Soledad welcomed over 300,000 visitors, each one connecting with the stories of our veterans. As we look to double that number next year, your support is more crucial than ever. Since 1954, countless families have climbed these heights above San Diego to trace their fingers across the names of loved ones who gave their all for our freedom. A mother sharing the story of her son’s valor with his younger siblings. A group of students learning about the sacrifices made for their freedom. A community leader laying a wreath in remembrance. These aren’t just stones and plaques – they’re touchstones to the hearts and lives of real people who shaped our nation’s story.

This holiday season, you can be part of keeping these precious memories alive. Your gift does more than preserve a memorial – it helps preserve the gentle moments when a child first understands what service means, when a veteran finds healing in sharing their story, and when a family finds comfort in knowing their loved one will never be forgotten.
