Only once a year, at 11:11 a.m., the sun reveals the secret of the memorial in Arizona

The Ante Veterans Memorial, Arizona, is dedicated to the memory of those who served and sacrificed their lives in the United States Armed Forces. However, 364 days a year, this extraordinary design does not seem completely completed. To fully enjoy its beauty, you need to come here at a certain time.

“Every year on Veterans Day (November 11), at exactly 11:11 in the morning, the rays of the sun penetrate the ellipses of the five pillars of the memorial and form perfect sunlight exactly above the mosaic of the Great Seal of the United States,” the city council said in a statement. “The five pillars represent the unity of the five branches of the US armed forces that are unshakable together. " These include the army, the marines, the navy, the air force, and the us coast guard.

We paid great attention to the construction of this unique monument. “Each year, the center of the sun shifts slightly. Using the statistical average of 100-year data, the calculations were corrected to cover the time error,” said project chief engineer Jim Martin. “We also checked the variance for 500 years, and if the memorial is still there exist, it will "work" correctly.
