Perry and Greene County, MS Veterans

11/09/2024

At precisely 11:11 a.m. each year on Veteran's Day (November 11), the sun's rays pass through the ellipses of the five armed pillars to form a perfect solar spotlight over a mosaic of the Great Seal of the United States.
It is the perfect spotlight to honor those who have fought for our country throughout history.
