Veterans Day Ceremony
2024-11-11 10:00 - 11:15 | AZ
Every year on November 11 Anthem hosts an incredible tribute to our Veterans at the nationally recognized, Anthem Veterans Memorial.
This annual ceremony honors the service of all veterans and their families. The ceremony concludes at 11:11 a.m., in honor of the Armistice, with the solar illumination of the Great Seal of the United States through the ellipses of the five armed services pillars of the Anthem Veterans Memorial (weather permitting). Read below about the significance of the Memorial:

The five pillars represent the unity of the five branches of the United States military serving steadfastly together.
Staggered in size with their appropriate military seal placements on each pillar, the pillars are arranged in the Department of Defense order of 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 solar spotlight on the glass mosaic of The Great Seal of the United States.
The brick pavers within the Circle of Honor are inscribed with the names of U.S. servicemen and women, symbolizing the ‘support’ for the Armed Forces. The pavers are red, the pillars are white, and the sky is blue to represent America’s flag.
The circle, flanked by two “Soldier Rows,” represents an unbreakable border.
