Default Memorial Day One Nation One Moment

http://www.remember.gov/
One Nation One Moment

At 3pm Monday everyone is asked to observe a moment of silence to remember those who have served this nation. Please make this small gesture and pass it on. Remember to teach your children and grandchildren what Memorial Day is really about.

America Unites In Remembrance


From the link to the official site...

The White House Commission on Remembrance is an independent government agency whose missions include:

Promoting the spirit of unity and remembrance through observance of The National Moment of Remembrance at 3 PM local time on Memorial Day;

Ensuring the nation remembers the sacrifices of America's fallen from the Revolutionary War to the present;

Recognizing those who served and those who continue to serve our great nation and reminding all Americans of their common heritage.


So I guess you count too!

Just a reminder..... assuming they mean 3 pm EDT..... the moment is drawing near! There should be NO POSTING between 3pm and 3:01 pm EDT!!

ANY violators will send a $100 fine to RidgeRunner (who will then buy the booze for the next party!) :lol:

On a more serious note..... I have never lost a member of my family during my lifetime to any war, but for those of you who HAVE.....

My thanks for their/your sacrifice and dedication to our country!

We WILL NOT forget you!

[And not to slight any other..... but, if Fozzy is lurking today..... I am thinking especially of you!]
