Scenes in the City: War-Related Memorials

A photo gallery of places in Long Beach to memorialize U.S. soldiers.

With Memorial Day weekend just days away, Long Beach Patch's Viewfinder focuses on the many war-related monuments and memorials that dot the city. While the federal holiday on Monday honors U.S. soldiers, we thought it appropriate to also include the memorials that remember the first casualties of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the American civilians and first responders.

The Viewfinder photo gallery aims to capture the many interesting and attractive scenes throughout the bustling beach town, with its distinct neighborhoods and diverse population.

If you have photos of city scenes that you would like us to consider for our gallery, please email them — along with descriptive captions — to josephk@patch.com. Photos must be sent with the photographer's permission.
