Bells of Peace Ceremony at The National WWI Memorial, November 11, 2026
The Doughboy Foundation will sponsor the annual Bells of Peace Ceremony on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, starting at 11:00 a.m. EST with prelude music by the Doughboy Foundation's American Expeditionary Forces Band Brass Quintet starting at 10:45 a.m. at The National World War I Memorial in Washington, DC, located on Pennsylvania Ave between 14th and 15th streets. The ceremony is free and open to the public, or can be watched via livestream on our Youtube channel.
Les Cloches de la Paix commémorent la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale et rendent hommage aux 4.7 millions d'Américains qui ont porté l'uniforme et aux 116 516 qui ont perdu la vie lors de ce conflit. Le 11 novembre est désormais le Jour des anciens combattants, une journée dédiée à la reconnaissance de tous les vétérans des forces armées des États-Unis. Initialement appelé Jour de l'Armistice, cette date marquait la fin des hostilités de la Première Guerre mondiale et est observée comme Jour du Souvenir dans d'autres pays.
At the National WWI Memorial, while honoring our Veterans, we will also honor and uphold the original purpose of November 11 through a multinational commemorative ceremony, and observe the day by remembering the 4.7 million American military members who served in WWI and all those from other nations who served alongside them.
The Bells of Peace Ceremony will be live streamed starting at 10:45 am and can be viewed on our YouTube channel.
