Why is it important to toll the bells 21 times?  We would rather toll our bell once in honor of each of our local veterans killed in combat.
The 21 tolls of the bell symbolize the nation's highest honor.  It is based on the 21-gun salute, whose origin is described here.  
We suggest you toll your bells 21 times, and follow that with an individual toll for each veteran you wish to honor, stating their name before each toll.  There is a manual tolling button for this.
The ceremony could conclude with a moment of silence, a poem or a solemn reading. 

Your logo is very attractive.  Can we use it to promote our bell tolling?  
Yes.  You can download and use 4 types of logos at these links:  Header  Logo  Logo in Frame  Icon  Choose the one that best meets your needs.  Please just resize it in proportion so you do not distort the image!
