This video was created in 2007 – but just came to my attention. 

The story is about David Hall, a Texas resident, who owns a replica of the Liberty Bell.  He brings his bell  on a trailer to military funerals and tolls the bell to honor the fallen soldiers in the historic tradition of centuries past.

As we approach Veterans Day, I think his is a message we need to hear.  (video less than 3 minutes)

Remember the sacrifices of nearly 2 million military servicemen and women and their families since the founding of this Nation.

Ted,

Good post, as a Navy Vetern of 21 years I have seen a number of comrades die in service of our country. Hearing that bell brings back the names and faces of each one of them....
