USSVI and SVWWII, with assistance from Army and Air Force ROTC students at Fresno State, dedicated a monument and 54 tulip trees on the grassy Maple Avenue mall.
The memorial is the first honoring lost submarines and crew members to be located on a university campus, according to Joseph A. Cox, president of Fresno chapter of the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II. The chapter and the Wahoo Base of the United States Submarine Veterans Inc. sponsored the event, along with Fresno State.
