I took a late lunch at 3:00 instead of noon and had a wonderful time. First Marine Division Band played, all military services were represented, and dignitaries included Mayor Lee, former mayor Senator Feinstein, former mayor Willie Brown, former Secretary of State George P. Shultz and other distinguished readers and speakers. Talks were short and sweet, the Blue Angels practiced overhead during Fleet Week and it was all over in 40 or 45 minutes. Well done and though 82 years late the present mayor got it made and dedicated. October 14: I walked through the area today having touched the beautiful wooden box the dirt was in. It's completely covered now inside the memorial. I was hoping there'd be some sort of bullet-proof glass to see the box.
