The first Bells of Peace ceremony at the new National World War I Memorial in Washington, DC was held on November 11, 2021. The ringing of the ship's bell 21 times was followed by the playing of Taps by three buglers in succession, echoing through the Memorial grounds. Other activities at the Memorial on Veterans Day included wreath layings by the Embassy of Serbia and the 82nd Airborne Division. The Doughboy Foundation supports the playing of Taps at 5:00 p.m. daily at the National World War I Memorial. (Photo by Bruce Guthrie)
