Much remained veiled by the rhetoric of that day’s dedication (Aug 12, 1906). The California Volunteers Monument ostensibly commemorated the brave boys who sailed for the Philippines following George Dewey’s naval victory at Manila Bay. No one mentioned that most of the soldiers had died fighting not Spaniards, but Filipinos, who had a different view of freedom than the one their new masters wished to impose on them.
