This year’s annual Veterans Day Ceremony duals as the 10th anniversary of the local memorial. Speakers from the original dedication in 2011 return to rededicate the pillars to the community and to their respective service branches. Other speakers include retired Adm. Tom Fargo from the U.S. Navy Pacific Command, retired Lt. Colonel Mark Clifford of the U.S. Air Force and Dr. Timothy Swindle, director of the University of Arizona Space Institute. A special performance by Musical Theatre of Anthem and ProMusica Arizona is planned. The ceremony concludes with the solar spotlight on the Great Seal of the United States which will be shown in real-time on a two-story LED screen.
The parking lot adjacent to the memorial will be closed for event setup and security, however the other community center parking lots will be open. Bring chairs and blankets. Arrive early to watch a video recap of the last 10 years of celebrations at the Anthem Veterans Memorial.
