Chiefs select from NSA Mechanicsburg read names and toll the bell at the Bells Across America Ceremony for Fallen Service Members Sept. 26. According to the Navy Gold Star Program’s website, bells have been used by the Navy for centuries for timekeeping, safety, communication, sounding alarms, and signaling important persons. During memorial events like these, the bells are not rung to signal anyone's presence but toll in their absence. These ceremonies provide the military and local communities a way to honor and remember the sacrifice of our fallen and the loved ones they left behind. At NSA Mechanicsburg, 19 names were read aloud, each followed by a single toll of the bell.
