This updated memorial will honor and respect the service of Veterans, with a fresh design that includes the restoration of the Eternal Flame sculpture, updated recognition plaques, and a new illuminated flagpole for greater visibility. The redesign will also feature an accessible surface, providing a space for reflection and remembrance. HELP RECOGNIZE VETERANS The City is seeking to honor and recognize all Veterans who lived in South San Francisco and died in the line of duty or from service-connected exposure. Residents are encouraged to submit the names of any such Veterans through an online survey or by visiting the Roberta Cerri Teglia Center at 601 Grand Ave or the Library | Parks & Recreation Center at 901 Civic Campus Way, where a paper form can be completed. All submissions will be vetted by Veterans Affairs, and eligible names may be included on new plaques at the redesigned memorial. This initiative provides an important opportunity to honor those who have served our country and ensure their legacy is remembered in the heart of our community.
