CABARRUS COUNTY, N.C. — The Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society honored veterans with its annual Veterans Day tradition: the tolling of the bells.
The ceremony takes place every year at 11 a.m., marking the end of World War I and recognizing the men and women who have served their country.
Mt. Pleasant Mayor Tony Lapish said the event is a reminder of the sacrifices made to protect the nation’s freedom.
“This event was put together to remember our freedom and who fought for our country so we can have freedom. That’s the backbone of this nation,” Lapish said.
The ceremony also included a presentation by Quilts of Valor, which gave quilts to service members and veterans as a thank-you for their service.
