Everyone can honor our Veterans on Veterans Day--you do not need to be in a major city or live near an American Cemetery. Hold your own local Bells of Peace ceremony.
For all those who plan to hold a Bells of Peace ceremony on November 11th, we have put together valuable resources and tools to help you, including:
-
A countdown timer to Nov. 11, 11am local;
-
Bells you can toll from your mobile device or computer;
-
A timer for a moment of silence and reflection;
-
Taps you can sound from you mobile device or computer;
-
FAQs, recommendations, event planning and execution;
-
Hashtags #BellsOfPeace and #TollTheBells for Social participation;
To mark a hundred years of commemoration, ABMC released a unique 56-minute documentary, "Our Promise: 100 years of the American Battle Monuments Commission."
