SAN DIEGO - To honor the brave men and women from San Diego County who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, Supervisor Roberts today unveiled the Wall of Heroes at the County Administration Center downtown.

"Our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen have shown great courage and made great sacrifices to make our world safer," said Roberts, who proposed creation of the wall. "It's only fitting that we honor them for all they have done."

The wall is adorned with photographs of those military personnel who are either from San Diego or who are stationed here. It is located in the first floor lobby of the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, in downtown San Diego. The public may view the exhibit between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. It will be on display here until at least the end of July before traveling to other local venues.

To submit a photo, send it to: Wall of Heroes, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 335, San Diego, CA 92101 or via e-mail at ron-roberts@co.san-diego.ca.us
