West Coast Memorial to the Missing of World War II, War memorial at Presidio Park in San Francisco, United States
The curved granite wall displays names of 413 service members who were lost in Pacific coastal waters during World War II operations.
The memorial was designed by architect Hervey Parke Clark and sculptor Jean de Marco to honor military personnel who disappeared in Pacific waters from 1941 to 1945.
This memorial serves as an educational center where visitors learn about military service members' contributions through inscribed names, ranks, and state affiliations.
The memorial location provides parking spots along Washington Boulevard and remains accessible through the Presidio's free shuttle service throughout the year.
The monument stands within a grove of Monterey pine and cypress trees, offering direct views toward the Pacific Ocean where the commemorated personnel were lost.
