On April 19th at 1:00 pm the American Legion nation-wide rang church bells in participation of the “Bells Across America” event. “School, church and bells of all kinds rang in unison for four minutes to remind all citizens of their heritage of freedom, and remind the world that the bells sound, not as a new call to arms, but as a massive voluntary demonstration that America is already armed.... In unity, spirit and deep moral conviction.” Charles L. Bacon, American Legion National Commander.
