The memorial was dedicated on October 10, 2014, making it a modern tribute to veterans in a city rich with history.

It is situated in the Memorial Court between the War Memorial Opera House and the Veterans Building, both of which are significant cultural landmarks.

The idea for a veterans memorial in San Francisco was first proposed in 1932, but it took over 80 years to come to fruition.
