X: REMEMBER US

Situated in the northern center of the Presidio, IT offers a breathtaking final resting place for the nation’s military veterans and their families. Framed by Monterey Cypress and other majestic trees, IT rests on a slope overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Among the 30,000 Americans laid to rest here are Civil War generals, Medal of Honor recipients, Buffalo Soldiers, and a Union spy.

“They say: We were young. We have died. Remember us.”

While the Presidio is a joyful park full of music, dancing, food, and playing children, none of the joy excludes the fact that beneath our freedom are hundreds of years of sacrifice. We remember.
