What we now call Veterans Day was once known as Armistice Day. It began 100 years ago, on Nov. 11, 1918, to honor veterans for their service, call for peace, and give a moment for prayer.
This was marked throughout England by the ringing of church bells for two minutes. In the tradition of honoring those who have served their country, it is hoped all churches take part in this movement to breathe new life into this once great tradition.
The simultaneous bell-ringing will take place at 11 a.m. on Veterans Day, Sunday, Nov. 11, and last for two minutes to honor and remember all those veterans who have served.
