Park Semper Fi

<p>Dedicated to the Marine Corps, Park Semper Fi is a small, hilltop park adjacent to Parque Del Mar that overlooks the pier. A tall, bronze statue of a Marine standing at attention and saluting looks out over the ocean and San Clemente Pier. To his left is a plaque bearing the names of Marines killed in battle, and the park -- landscaped with flowers and plantings by the San Clemente Garden Club -- has become a memorial for local families who have lost their husbands, sons, daughters, wives, brothers or sisters to war.</p> <p>The city of San Clemente holds its yearly Veterans Day ceremony at Park Semper Fi.</p>
