Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day,
is a day of remembrance for those who have given their lives in our nation’s
wars. Since 1868, this holiday reminds us to honor those who paid the ultimate
cost in defense of our country.
On Monday at 3 p.m., please join in the National Moment of Remembrance. Established by
Congress in 2000, this resolution asks 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 or listening to ‘Taps.’”
The moment is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with
family and friends, honor our fallen veterans.
As we attend graduation festivities, spend time
with our families or just relax this Memorial Day weekend, please take time to
salute these special men and women. Pay tribute to those who make our freedoms
possible.
