The Dedication Ceremony for the US Navy Diver Monument is scheduled for Friday, 5 December at 10 AM and we are so excited! 

However, there is a big change of location.  The Dedication Ceremony will be at Admiral Baker Park in San Diego, followed by the post-ceremony Party also there.  You may ask, “Why?”

Simply — We got authorization to proceed with the Monument production and placement last July, but then just three days ago we were informed that the VA wanted a few more documents.  Easy Day.  Unfortunately, that meant that the monument could not be placed with the other monuments at Miramar National Cemetery — yet.  But it will.

We have so many people coming from all over America, that we arranged for the monument to be brought from Vista, California where it awaits, to the Admiral Baker Park where we will all be able to see it.  The monument will remain as part of the dedication ceremony.  This is a different path than originally planned, but this will cut down your travel and present the monument there to be seen.  You will be more than pleased when you actually see the US Navy Diver Monument!

So.  Please come directly to Admiral Baker Park prior to 10AM on the 5th.  There will be signs to guide you to the ceremony location.  Afterwards, shift right over to the chow line, and don’t forget your beer… or soft drink, and enjoy the music.   The prize drawing will happen then, as well.
