Please join us and toll the Bells of Peace on 11/11 at 11am local. No bell? We have a Participation App for you.
In 2018, we launched “Bells of Peace” as a WWI Remembrance on the centennial of the Armistice of World War I. Tens of thousands of communities, churches, organizations and individuals all over our nation and even in other countries came together for a moment of reflection to honor the people, events, sacrifices and consequences of the “War that Changed the World”.
It is a means of showing respect and reverence to the horrific, the heroic, and the consequential. In order that these events do not fade back into the mists of obscurity, we are once again calling for a National Bell Tolling on the 11th hour (local), of the 11th day of the 11th month.
And we are not alone in this.
The Society of the Honor Guard Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (SHGTUS) Centennial Committee is also calling for a tolling under their National Salute 2019 initiatives we approach the 100th Anniversary of the burial of an Unknown American Soldier who fought and died in World War I, and is buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (TUS) in Arlington National Cemetery, in 2021.
Join us as we stop, and take a moment to reflect, remember and honor… and reverently toll bells 21 times, 5 seconds apart in hope for continued peace.
