Erected By the Port Angeles, Washington, Lions Club. It's located in that city's Veterans Memorial Park. I first saw this bell on July 4th, 2003 and was under the mistaken impression that it was one of the 55 bells produced in 1950 by the US Treasury, it wasn't until later that I found out that it was actually commissioned by the Lions.
