 The other defendant, the City of San Diego, never agreed to the settlement.While the cross and land were apparently owned by the Association (after the 1998 sale), the Association spent over $900,000 to add significant improvements to the memorial site, including six concentric granite wall, pavers, bollards, and a flagpole with American flag.Additionally, the Association sold over 1,600 plaques memorializing individual service men and women.
