November 11th was that day 104 years ago when the guns of WWI fell silent on the Western Front. 116,516 Americans had given their lives, hundreds of thousands of other’s lives were forever changed. The death toll worldwide was 20 million, military and civilians.

We’ll honor them at the WWI Memorial in Washington, D.C. with our Bells of Peace ceremony, as many other attend their local events with the tolling of bells at 11AM on 11/11: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

GEN Barry McCaffrey will be joining us. He knows what it means. He served four combat tours and was himself wounded three times.

If you are in the Washington D.C. area, I hope you can join us at the Memorial for our ceremony. If you are not, we will be live streaming the event on our YouTube Channel. The event will begin at 10:45am ET. See you there.
