Oceanside has a significan Samoan community. Every year it seems like at least half of the front lineman for the Oceanside High School football team are Samoan. Some even go on to play professional football. Junior Seau, a well known and well liked player for the San Diego Chargers, came from Oceanside. And since so much of American Samoa is beach it is only fitting that this plaque be placed in close proximity to Oceanside's beaches. The plaque reads:
