Mount Diablo Relit for Veterans Day-- Part 3

Continued from my Tattooed on Your Soul: WW II and Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blogs.

"When the Beacon light is turned on, that's a tribute to those individuals who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor," stated  Pearl Harbor Survivor Earl "Chuck" Kohler.

The Beacon is owned by California State Parks, but maintained by Save Mount Diablo, is one of the last remaining working beacons from the transcontinental string of guides.

However, its future remained undertain until the beacon's restoration in 2013,  when California Assembly Member Joan Buchanan wrote and helped pass legislation to assist the nonprofit in achieving their restoration goal.
