Battle of San Diego Bay Ceremony

After three years of not being able to have this event, due to the covid-19 pandemic, finally last month we celebrated once again the Battle of San Diego Bay at the Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL). Captain Kenneth R. Franklin, Consul General of Spain in Los Angeles, Juna Carlos Sanchez Alonso, Consul Honorary of Spain in San Diego, Rosaura Picasso Marrow, and her husband Larry Morrow, Spanish Naval officer Commander Eduardo Almazan and his wife Maria Jose Noguerol, Spanish Army Major Aurelio Hinarejos Rojo and his wife Sandra Rebok, members of the House of Spain and members of several organizations for present at this event. We want to thank the NBPL for their consistent support that they gave us since 1978 in commemorating this historical event at the Fort Guijarros site. Major Hinarejos Rojo was the Keynote Speaker who is from the same branch of the Spanish Army Corp of Engineers that was Alberto de Cordoba, in charge of the defenses in California and designer of the original Fort Guijarros in 1787. 

Special thanks to Maruja and Bob Williams for their support of shopping and setting up a very nice tapas and drinks area at the Smugglers Cove Park where people congregated after the ceremony to mingle, talk and meet each other. Thank you all for your cooperation!
