Category:Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial
Because the cross was built on property owned by the city, it was the subject of extensive litigation as a violation of the separation of church and state. The city sold the land to a non-profit association which made the cross the centerpiece of a veterans memorial, at first for Korean War vets, and later for for all veterans of the American military, whose pictures now surround the cross on numerous plaques, which are created in return for a specific monetary donation. The land was transferred to the Federal government, initiating more litigation, until the land was sold to the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Association with the condition that it be a veterans memorial in perpetuity. The sale ended the litigation.
Although the memorial is privately owned it is recognized by the Department of Defense.
