Perch Base
Anthem Veterans Day Parade
Thanks and Attaboy to Perch Base members, Vice Commander Don Robertson and Chief of the Boat (COB) Kirby Anderson, who took the
USS Phoenix float to the Daisy Mountain Veterans Day Parade in Anthem, Arizona, on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
If it weren't for Don & Kirby, we would not have been able to roll the USS Phoenix at the parade, because it was the same
time as our monthly meeting, but they took our float, set it up (not a small chore for only two people) and entertained the people
of Anthem, AZ.

Thanks also to our Vice Commander Don Robinson who attended the event and took this photo.
The Anthem Veterans Memorial is designed so that the apertures line up at 11:11:11 AM on November 11 of every year. I have never seen it when it is aligned because I am always participating in the parade at the same time. Thanks to Perch Base Life Member John Mosher, he caught this photo at just the right time at the parade in 2019! Read more about the Anthem Veterans Memorial at this LINK. (You can see it again on Friday, January 30, 2026 at 11:40:38 AM! (plus or minus 12 seconds) )
