Invitation to join our Bells of Peace ceremony at the WWI Memorial

Members should note this live streamed event on Friday at 8am Pacific time.

Dear Michael,

I would like to personally invite you to our Bells of Peace Ceremony.

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.

Remembrance Day Service 2022

Earlier today Branch 25 (San Francisco) of the Royal Canadian Legion came together with the United States Navy Sea Cadet Corp – Arkansas Division at Liberty Cemetery in Petaluma for its annual Remembrance Day service. The program for today’s service is available by clicking here.

In addition to the in person service, we also streamed the service using Zoom. You can view an edited recording of that service at:

Thank you to both those who attended in person and those who attended online. Thanks also to our fellow Canadians at the Consulate in San Francisco, the Digital Moose Lounge, and the Canadian Studies Program at UC Berkeley. We appreciate the incredible job each of these groups did in promoting the service.

Finally, below are some of the photos that were taken, including our traditional group picture.

Note the reason we held our service today – Saturday, 05 November – was to better accommodate the schedule of our United States Navy Sea Cadet Corp – Arkansas Division, as most schools in the Bay Area do not close on 11 November.

Each piece includes a transcript of the chaplain’s memory of the locations in England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany and events surrounding them. After the lecture you are invited to walk over to the exhibit at the:
