Anthem, AZ 85086 | PHOTOS
The Anthem Veterans Memorial, located in Anthem Community Park in Anthem, AZ is a monument dedicated to honor the service and sacrifice of our country’s armed forces. This pillar of pride provides a place of honor and reflection for veterans, their family and friends, and those who desire to show their respects to those service men and women who have and continue to courageously serve our county.
Five Pillar Significance
- The five pillars represent the unity of the five branches of the United States military serving steadfast together.
- They are staggered in size with their appropriate military seal placements on each pillar based upon the Department of Defense prescribed precedence.
- At precisely 11:11 a.m. each Veterans Day (Nov. 11), the sun’s rays pass through the ellipses of the five Armed Services pillars to form a perfect solar spotlight over a mosaic of The Great Seal of the United States.

I wish I had been at PURDUE today. they play taps at 11:11 in Memorial Hall.
Interesting that Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Wonder if it has anything to do with this memorial?
I was just thinking they must have picked that spot for the sun shine. It’s cloudy here today in Razorback land.
Awesome.
To our veterans, past and present, THANK YOU. Especially to my son-in-law who did two tours in crapghanistan. Sleep easy now son and let the images fade, our family has got your six.

This is spectacular! It’s not Stonehenge, it’s VETHENGE!
Day light savings time is over no matter what state you’re in.
Art with military precision.
What an inspirational and moving piece.
May it stand and reach the hearts of the future for a long long time.
some Leftist fucktard will cook up some harebrained excuse to protest it.
I guarantee it.
