Bacon has called the bell ringing a "... . dramatic na tionwide demonstration of Ameri ca’s devotion to freedom.” Georgia Chairman Hugh Howell Jr., said “The bells will be no new cal to arms, but rather a dem onstration that America is already armed in unity, in spirit, and in deep moral conviction.” “One of the greatest tragedies of our modern times,” he continued, the apparent reluctance of Americans to express their natural love of country. A discouraging con notation has been attached to the word “patriotism”, and it has be come fashionable to sneer at those who speak sincerely of these Unit ed States by references to them as “flag wavers.” Howell urged all Georgians to join with “Americans from Maine to Hawaii . . . from Florida to Alaska” in ringing church bells school bells, and chimes of every size and in the individual display of the American Flag on this day.
