Now a Project — the grand mountain to climb, the great tsunami to surf – the next step was to form a Non-Profit Organization – a 501.c.3.  Not an easy task.  It took nine months to obtain, but Det 419 now was in position to make the request to donate a monument to Miramar National Cemetery.  But what would it look like?  How could the group show honor to the Diving Community?  What made a monument stand out and show proper homage?  The group was lucky to have a member who had just created and placed a monument for SEALS, so we had his administrative experience.  We planned to use the same stoneworking company in Ohio, where they laser-etch words and pictures into black granite (which would last between 400 to 600 years…  probably long enough).   But what should the monument look like?
