Unconditional Surrender Statue in front of Midway Aircraft Museum, San Diego

When I planned my trip to San Diego, 4 main places to explore in the city were Old Town, Sea World, San Diego Zoo & Midway Aircraft Museum, apart from it's beautiful beaches. And when we walked to Midway Aircraft Museum in morning, we had some time to explore areas around as there was time for museum to open. Then we noticed Unconditional Surrender Statue which is just front of Midway Aircraft Museum.

And when we walked to Midway Aircraft Museum in morning, we had some time to explore areas around as there was time for museum to open. Then we noticed Unconditional Surrender Statue which is just front of Midway Aircraft Museum.  

There is a very interesting place, with interesting facts. This is a series of statues in different cities of USA - Sarasota, New Jersey, Pearl Harbor & New York. Apart from these there is one in Italy and one in France. More details about these statues can be seen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_Surrender_(sculpture)

Just close to Unconditional Surrender Statue in San Diego there is another park with few installations of soldiers. Above photograph shows statue of Clinton A.F. Sprague who was vice admiral in United States Navy. Above statue also has list of awards he got. He was part of World-War 1 as well as World War 2.

There is a cool setup with audio commentary which gives you some sense about the way USN used to operate during World War 2 and how they executed. There are many who lost their lives and it was also shares about some speeches by Clinton A. F. Sprague.

Both the Surrender Statue as well as the park dedicated to warriors are close to the blue ocean. Lot of folks can be seen around this place, especially during mornings and evenings. There is no ticket and entry is open. This doll was roaming around the place and her mom was little worried so she politely made her sit on the bench.

If you liked this post and found it helpful, I would request you to follow these things when traveling - 

1. Manage your waste well and don’t litter Use dustbins.
2. Tell us if you went to a place and found it hard to locate a dustbin. 

3. Avoid bottle waters in hills. Usually you get clean water in hills and water bottles create lot of mess in our ecosystem. 

4. Say big no to plastic and avoid those unhealthy snacks packed in plastic bags. Rather buy fruits. 


5. Don't play loud blaring music in forests of jungle camps. You are a guest in that ecosystem and disturbing the locals (humans and animals) is not polite
