2013: San Diego re-installation
Although controversy regarding a temporary display since 2007 of a version of the statue was occurring, in March 2012 the San Diego Unified Port District voted to purchase a permanent bronze replacement for the loaner. This controversial move resulted in the resignation of three board members.Despite the controversy, construction of the new weather-resistant bronze statue proceeded, in part due to a fundraising campaign by the Midway Museum that raised US$1 million. The bronze replacement Unconditional Surrender statue arrived at its new home on February 11, 2013. The replacement was bolted into place near the location of the previous copy of the statue that had been installed as a loaner in 2007
