Bells of Vrede: WWI Herinnerd
"Bells of Peace: WWI Remembered" is an iPhone app developed by the United States Foundation for the Commemoration of the World Wars. This app is designed to support a national bell tolling initiative called "Bells of Peace" that takes place on November 11th at 11am local time to honor all those who served and sacrificed in World War I.
The app provides various ways for users to participate in tolling the bells. Users can choose from a selection of different bell sounds and set the app to automatically toll at 11am local time on November 11th. Alternatively, users can manually toll the bells or use the app for any commemoration and remembrance.
In addition to tolling the bells, the app also aggregates social media posts from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Users can tag their posts with #BellOfPeace, and if selected, their posts will be published in the app's management dashboard. This feature allows users to share how they and their organizations remembered and participated in the Bells of Peace initiative.
This app is not only a way to honor the millions of Americans who served in World War I but also a means to ensure that no veteran is forgotten. Through the tolling of bells and the sharing of commemorative moments, "Bells of Peace: WWI Remembered" offers a unique and meaningful way to remember and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
