Thanks for the hint to the ship named after our guy that accidentally bombarded the USS Iowa with F. D. Rosevelt aboard! Without that I never would have found the answer. As it was, I just had to double check if "kamikaze" really means a deadly wind - and then: bingo.

Question
I have one reference that simply calls it the Confederate Memorial in Key West Florida and located in Bayview Park dedicated in 1924 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It sounds like in one article they are cleaning up the pavilion and a memorial to Union Soldiers that is nearby - market it as a Civil War Soldiers and Sailors tribute. But the best I can come up with is: Confederate Memorial.

Bonus
I believe you are William David Porter - son of Commodore David Porter, brother of Admiral David Dixon Porter and foster brother to Admiral David Farragut. It appears FDR had to duck and cover.

Main question: I didn't see an official name for this, but this pavilion is a Confederate memorial in Key West, Florida and was put up in 1924 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Bonus: This was an incredible riddle!!! Nicely done, @GELongstreet!!

This is Commodore William David Porter (10 March 1808 – 1 May 1864). He commanded the New Era, which was then renamed the Essex in honor of his father's ship of the same name from the War of 1812. The World War II destroyer named in his honor, William D. Porter, had an interesting accident in which it almost sank a ship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt aboard, and the William D. Porter was sunk by a kamikaze attack in June 1945.

The Confederate unknown soldier memorial. Bonus answer Commodore William Dixon Porter, the ship was the USS William D. Porter, sunk by a Kamikaze in 1945.

Edit - The main question asked not only for identification of the pictured structure but also its location.

I'll give you credit for a correct answer to the bonus question this time, but players are cautioned not to give too much information if you're not completely certain it's correct. Actually, Porter's middle name was David, not Dixon.

Main question: This is the monument to the soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy, located in Key West, FL.

Bonus: (Waving white flag)

I just can't envision how anyone or anything could live up to all the conditions specified in the first sentence, i.e. "fathered by," "partially fostered by," "fraternized by," and "fraternizing with" the waves.

I hope the official answer explains all of these things.

There is a memorial to Union soldiers in Key West, but it is some distance away and looks completely different.

Bonus: I am a child of the waves - fathered by them, partially fostered by them, fraternized by them, fraternizing with them and spending most of my life on them. After the civil war began I moved on that great example of a butchered French word that was a butchered Ojibwe word. I headed that New Age though it took an old name to honor the old man. I temporarily gave my eyesight to Henry in my constant efforts to turn the grey water blue again and later erupted in joy when Arkansas erupted in flames. Then I hoisted by new star-spangled banner in New York until I died in 1864. Much later a ship was named after me, torpedoed a president and ultimately was sunk by some strange divine wind. Who am I?
