The San Francisco Veterans Memorial Courtyard , located across from City Hall , is part of the War Memorial Complex , situated between the War Memorial Opera House and Veterans Building . The courtyard serves to honor the dedication , commitment and sacrifice of military veterans , while offering visitors a quiet spot to reflect . Prior to beginning the construction of the memorial , which was designed by artist , Susan Narduli , and titled Passage of Remembrance , soil from the center of the octagonal area of the Memorial Court was carefully removed and safeguarded . Upon completion of the project , the soil was re-interred as part of the memorial ’ s dedication . Over time , soils from the battlefields of other conflicts will be added in ongoing remembrance of the men and women who served their country .
