The historic Mount Diablo beacon was lit for the first time in honor of veterans on May 30 for Memorial Day. Many groups and individuals, including the Pearl Harbor Survivors Sons and Daughters, the American Legion, California State Parks, U.S. Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, California Sen. Steve Glazer, California Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan and Contra Costa County Supervisor Candace Andersen signed a joint proclamation in February agreeing that the beacon should be lit on Memorial Day and Veterans' Day, in addition to Pearl Harbor Day in December. The beacon, which is visible from many points in Lamorinda, is lit at sunset and extinguished the following sunrise.
