Memorial Day and Moment of Remembrance

Today in the United States, the last Monday in May 2011, we observe Memorial Day in remembrance and honor of military persons who served and died defending our country and its values.  We remember these heroes for their ultimate sacrifice.

Did you know that, in the year 2000, President Bill Clinton established a National Moment of  Remembrance?  He did this "encouraging individual [government] department and agency personnel, and Americans everywhere, to pause for one minute at 3:00 p.m. (local time) on Memorial Day, to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to provide freedom for all."
