"Stay classy, San Diego."

I was in San Diego meeting with a couple of brides-to-be and I made some time to go to the downtown and marina area to shoot some photos. I love this city!









The USS Midway (CV-41), now a museum ship


It reads:
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SAILORS
WENT TO SEA AND FOUGHT IN WORLD WAR II, PERHAPS
THE MOST SINGULAR UNIFYING EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE YOUNG AMERICANS SET ASIDE THEIR INDIVIDUAL
HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS, LEFT FAMILIES, HOMES AND JOBS IN
A COLLECTIVE SACRIFICE TO DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY
AND THEIR COMMON IDEAS. THE MEN OF THE
USS SAN DIEGO (CL-53) REMEMBERED HERE
ARE EMBLEMATIC OF ALL WHO FOUGHT FOR VICTORY
IN THIS EPIC STRUGGLE.
