Album Info:
Pacific War Memorial Altar - The major memorial structure is a rotunda in which a circular altar falls directly under the dome's open center through which light falls on the altar during daylight hours. The altar symbolizes a wreath of victory with the following words inscribed on its rim: "Sleep, my sons, your duty done, for Freedom's light has come; sleep in the silent depths of the sea, or in your bed of hallowed sod, until you hear at dawn the low, clear reveille of God." (Taken from http://corregidorisland.com/sectors.html ) ... It’s said the sun shines directly on the circular altar only one day out of the year – May 6, the day Corregidor fell.
