- What is Bells of Peace? The National Bell Tolling is called “Bells of Peace: A World War I Remembrance” and is a national tolling of bells to honor those who serve and served.
- Why Toll the bells? It is the traditional way to mark someone’s passing. On special national occasions, bells are tolled in honor of the fallen. November 11 is the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended hostilities in World War I. In the war, 4.5 million American served, the 375,000 were wounded and the 116,516 Americans that died.
- When is the National Bell Tolling? On Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. local time across the United States and its territories.
- Where will the National Bell Tolling take place? In communities, houses of worship, cemeteries, military installations, ships at sea - anywhere that Americans gather to honor their veterans.
- Who is sponsoring the National Bell Tolling? The U.S. World War I Centennial Commission is the sponsor. The Commission was created by Act of Congress in 2013 to honor, commemorate, and educate the public about American participation in World War I. The Pritzker Military Museum and Library, our founding sponsor, also endorses this event. Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion are partners, as are the National Cathedral and the Society of the Honor Guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. State World War I commissions and other partners are encouraged to co-sponsor and publicize the event.
- How can my community group participate? At 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 11, toll your bells either by having the app open or put the app in manual mode and toll the bells yourself… slowly… 21 times with about a five-second interval between tolls. The APP that can also be used with public address systems.
- Why is it important to toll the bells 21 times? We would rather toll our bell once in honor of each of our local veterans killed in combat. The 21 tolls of the bell symbolize the nation's highest honor. It is based on the 21-gun salute. We suggest you toll your bells 21 times and follow that with an individual toll for each veteran you wish to honor, stating their name before each toll. The ceremony could conclude with Taps or a solemn reading.
