World War II West Coast Memorial

The World War II West Coast Memorial is a curved wall of California gray granite, set within a grove of Monterey pine and cypress trees that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Dedicated on November twenty-ninth, nineteen sixty, the site was constructed by the American Battle Monuments Commission to commemorate four hundred thirteen members of the armed forces who were lost or buried at sea in Pacific coastal waters between nineteen forty-one and nineteen forty-five.
