West Coast Memorial U.S.A.

The West Coast Memorial to the Missing of World War II is a monument dedicated to missing soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guardsmen, and airmen of World War II. It is a curved wall of California granite set in a grove of Monterey pine and cypress and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It bears the name, rank, organization and State of each of the 413 members of the Armed Forces who lost their lives or were buried at sea in the Pacific coastal waters.

On the right side of the monument is a text that reads:

1941-1945
ERECTED BY THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL
REMEMBRANCE OF HER SONS WHO GAVE
THEIR LIVES IN HER SERVICE AND WHO
SLEEP IN THE AMERICAN COASTAL
WATERS OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN

INTO THY HANDS O LORD
