History of Mt. Soledad and the War Memorial
Mt. Soledad is an important part of San Diego's history. Mountaintop transmitters on the site were
part of the military's early-warning defense system. The Lindbergh's used it as a jump-off point
for glider flights. It has long been used for navigational purposes, and it is the site of the
Veterans War Memorial. The American Legion Post #275 of La Jolla founded the Mt. Soledad Memorial
Association (MSMA) in 1952 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) California Corporation while the Korean War
was in progress. The organization has consistently had veterans of the wars on its board since its
inception. The MSMA purchased the land at the top of Mt. Soledad in 1999 and in 2000 constructed
the Memorial Walls as a lasting tribute to war veterans.
