Navy Bell Ringing Ceremony.

We were here this morning to remember and honor the men and women who have served this country in all branches of the military, here at home and in foreign land...s, far away from their families and friends. The flags that have been placed at each veteran’s grave represent our commitment as united Americans to remember the fallen. The flags symbolize our honor to those who have served this great nation. To our children, we want them to understand the freedoms we enjoy today and teach them that these freedoms have not come free, but have come with a great cost. Thank you to all for helping honor our veterans today. See more
