Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery
Welcome to my Fort Rosecrans page,
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery is a West Coast version of Arlington National Cemetery. It is located in Point Loma, the community of San Diego City that surrounds the west side of the San Diego bay at the north end.
All United States Military property is owned by the U.S. Govenment and subject to Federal laws rather than the State or City laws where the property is located.
Neat rows of headstones can be seen on both sides of Catalina Boulevard and the effect of realizing that so many have died in service to their country can be profound.
The Gates on Catalina Boulevard are closed to private citizens at 5:00 p.m. and a cemetery visit may seem a bit odd, but for those who are interested in history, the military or spectacular views of San Diego City, the bay and the ocean, a visit here can be quite illuminating.
I hope you enjoy your visit,
Linda |

What a shame we never visited here we must have passed close by. | matcrazy1 Fri Jan 14, 2005 16:11 UTC
I heard Twenty-One Gun Salute and the Taps in Arlington, Virginia. | zrim Fri Mar 5, 2004 16:03 UTC
I think bittersweet is a good description. The photo of the cemetary and the Pacific is stunning. | mcpangie Tue Feb 10, 2004 08:33 UTC
Yes, the pic of the cemetary near ocean was on VT front page. Nice pic, like you said, calming. |
