Over 5,000 Americans are etched into the black granite walls of the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial in San Diego.

Too many skateboarders believe they have the 'right' to do whatever they want no matter how inappropriate or what damage they cause. When I ran restaurants I used to have trouble with them and when I told them to leave our lot the morons told me they could do what they wanted because it was public property. I had the last laugh when I leaned into the police car and told them to go ahead and do what they wanted because the police car was public property.
