Bells Across America ceremony slated for Sept. 27

The third annual Bells Across America will be held aboard NAS Corpus Christi on Sept. 27, at 10 a.m., at the Protestant Chapel. Bells Across America honors and remembers the sacrifices the mothers of service members who have died while on active duty service to our nation have endured. The bells rung during the ceremony do not signal anyone’s presence; instead they toll in their absence. At 10 a.m., across Navy Region Southeast, we will honor these sacrifices in unison and remember our fallen Sailors and their families who are forever part of the Navy family. Their contributions have made lasting impacts to the strength of our great nation. We have a duty to the loved ones they have left behind in ensuring their Sailors legacy is remembered by the nation they volunteered to protect.
