Anthem Veterans Memorial

Designed by Anthem resident Renee Palmer-Jones, the five marble pillars represent the five branches of the United States military.

They are staggered in size and ordered in accordance with the Department of Defense prescribed precedence, ranging from the United States Army, the United States Marine Corp, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force and the United States Coast Guard.

Anthem resident and chief engineer, Jim Martin, aligned the five pillars so that at precisely 11:11 a.m. on Veterans Day (November 11), the sun’s rays will pass through each of the five pillars’ elliptical openings to illuminate a glass mosaic medallion of the Great Seat of the United States.

The Anthem Veterans Memorial is located in the Anthem Community Park at 41703 N. Gavilan Peak Parkway in Anthem. Community Park hours are Monday-Sunday: 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
