Let's Remember
To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution was passed on Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans "To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence."

Here here!
thank you for posting such a meaningful post. Have a wonderful Memorial Day
I totally agree. Thanks for posting the tribute.
I had no idea about the 3 o'clock moment of silence. Good thing I'm reading this at 2! I've already had a couple of conversations with my little ones about what today is...but now I'll be sure to have a moment of silence at 3 with them too!
Thanks!
Well said! Did not know about the moment of silence either.
Hope you had a nice holiday weekend.
