Honoring the fallen…

Honoring the fallen at Bayeux British Cemetery in Normandy on May 3rd, 2025

As you will see in the Tribute Video on our D-Day Bell Exploration page, the American, British, and Canadian cemeteries in Europe are included. My wife and I had the opportunity to visit the British Commonwealth Cemetery in Bayeux recently while on a trip to France. We had previously visited the American Cemetery back in 2019 during our Band of Brothers tour through all the countries the 101st Airborne Division were in during WWII. It cannot be overstated the humility that being in these cemeteries brings. It is overwhelming to see the rows of headstones marking the ultimate sacrifice of each soldier. On June 6, 2025, Honor Bells will launch the limited sale of my D-Day Bell design. (You can Pre-order now!)

In 2021, while undergoing cancer treatments, and throughout the pandemic, I began a new hobby and designed and created a special ‘Angel’ Bell Christmas ornament made from coins, (the first of several designs now available). It is my hope that each and every time you place one of these ornaments on your tree, and hear the bell ring, you will be reminded of your loved one. Each ornament is hand made and designed with your special someone in mind. All the coins are specifically chosen in order to honor the year your special angel was born, the state they called home, and the year they got their wings.
