A Memorial Which Becomes Perfect Only Once A Year

13 Nov 2017


1

The Anthem Veterans Memorial in Anthem, Arizona, is “incomplete” 364 days per year


2

But at precisely 11:11 a.m. each Veterans Day (Nov. 11), the sun’s rays pass through the pillars to illuminate The Great Seal of the United States


3

“The five pillars represent the unity of the five branches of the United States military serving steadfast together”


4

“They are staggered in size with their appropriate military seal placements on each pillar based upon the Department of Defense prescribed precedence”


5

A lot of consideration went into building this monument


6

Using 100-year statistical data, the altitude and azimuth angles for the structure were adjusted to provide time/error fluctuation of plus or minus 12 time seconds


7

“We also checked the variance 500 years out, and if the structure is still standing, it will work”
