Mission:
|
To Honor David Hall (The belladier of the Traveling Liberty
Bell)
David has been a mainstay of the Patriot Guard
Riders for many years and he has always stood as an example
for each of us to follow.
His patriotism and
devotion to the fallen heroes of this nation set an example
for not only the riders but for every American citizen of
this country.
David often stated: "The Liberty Bell
and Law Memorial travels across the country to honor those
who have paid the ultimate price to protect our Freedom."
David somehow knew that the ringing of the bell could
touch the families of the fallen in a way that no other
sound could do. His gift of love, honor, hope and respect
has been given to many families at the final services for
their love ones who have given their all. David will never
be forgotten and will be missed by all who met him. God
Bless the Hall family.

Obituary:
|
David’s race is over; he has won the victory and is now
taking the first break he’s had in over 60 years. We are
celebrating his life through our tears and remembering a
life full of joy and service. David spent his life living
for others following the example of his Lord Jesus Christ.
He believed that we are here for each other and that
the highest calling a man can have is to lay down his life
for his friends. David laid down his life everyday putting
himself second; believing that while we were all created
equal, we each have unique ways in which we can be Jesus to
this world.
Over the last 15 years, David’s heart
broke for the men and women of our military, law enforcement
and first responders. David believed that each person has a
duty to live and that he could best dispense his duty by
giving final honors to those who have literally laid down
their lives for others.
As the Belladier, David
honored thousands of US servicemen and women, Firefighters
and Police Officers. At each service with each note
reverberating from the Bell, David did what he could with
what he was given.
In a Memorial Day Speech in 1884,
Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. said this…
I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required
of a man that he should share the passion and action of his
time at peril of being judged not to have lived.
David lived his life sharing in the passion and action of
his time and has changed this world in a thousand unknown
ways. His life will reverberate like the sound of his bell
throughout the years to come being heard by those who knew
him and by many of those who didn’t.
We will miss
his humor, his smile and his letters. We will miss his
stories, his handshake and the way he answered the phone. We
are grateful for the life he poured into all of us and for
the sense of urgency with which he dispense his duty to
live.

- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and
appreciated.
- Safety First: Please remember to properly hydrate
(including the night before) before any outdoor activity and

indoors and always ask for help at any time. Also please do
not forget your sun screen.
- Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family.
- Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the
one we are honoring.
