Santa Clara, California (no direct access to San Francisco Bay) is one of the very few in the entire USA that has a memorial equally included in its War Memorial to the Forces
It reads :-
NO CROSS MARKS THE PLACE WHERE I NOW LIE
WHAT HAPPENED IS KNOWN TO US
YOU ASKED AND WE GAVE OUR LIVES TO PROTECT OUR LAND
FROM THE ENEMY
NO FLANDERS FIELDS WHERE POPPIES BLOW
NO GLEAMING CROSSES ROW ON ROW
NO UNNAMED TOMB FOR ALL TO SEE AND PAUSE
AND WONDER WHO MIGHT BE
THE SAILORS VALHALLA IS WERE WE LIE
ON THE OCEAN BED WATCHING OUR SHIPS PASS BY
SAILING IN SAFETY NOW THRU THE WAVES OFTEN
RIGHT OVER SEA LOCKED GRAVES
WE ASK YOU TO JUST REMEMBER US.
