Veterans Day Anthem

The Veterans Memorial in Anthem, AZ. It is an architectural masterpiece. It opened on November 11, 2011 with a celebration for the American veterans from Anthem, AZ. The memorial was designed by Renee Palmer-Jones and was conceived by Admiral Ron Tucker. The memorial consists of five pillars with each representing a different branch of the United States Military. The spectacular thing about the memorial is that each of the five pillars has one hole in it. These holes line up perfectly on Veterans Day at 11:11 am with the sun shining through the center of the holes to shine perfectly on a mural of the Seal of the United States. Throughout the day on Veterans Day the Seal can be seen illuminated on the ground. The Seal can only be seen perfectly like this on Veterans Day and symbolizes the importance of every branch of the military and their cooperation together. In times of great need these branches must come together to make our country great.
