I know Veterans day is already way old news, but this was brought to my attention from Anthem AZ, and I found it interesting. In an extended family where many have been involved, thought you might find it interesting as well. Our own little Stonehenge!
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, no matter where life finds you!
We are going to be snug (hopefully...) on our little cabin in the woods, and we'll be joined by Cousins Wayne and Jim! Sounds like Lynn's son Alex and his wife Jessica will join us too. Fun! And then there are the usual mountain friends..
Travel safe! Time to get ready!
Love to all,
Dad/UR

See This Awesome Veterans Day Image That Can Only Be Seen One Day of the Year
A stunning image for Veterans Day shows a light coming through a specially designed memorial that perfectly lights up the Great Seal of the United States! It's a magnificent homage to America's veterans, who light the way for our entire nation.
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 Seal of the United States.
A fitting tribute to our nation's veterans.
This is Anthem Veterans Memorial in Anthem, Arizona.
