Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer in San Diego. More importantly, it’s a time to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. With its deep military roots and vibrant communities, San Diego County comes alive each May with powerful ceremonies, community gatherings, and family-friendly events.
At the Rayna Mack Team, we’re proud to serve San Diego’s military and veteran families—not just with real estate expertise, but with deep gratitude for their sacrifice.
