Rememberance to the fallen

We should all take a moment today to stop whatever we’re doing and say thank you. May the fallen never be forgotten. We owe them all a debt for their great sacrifice.

I served in the US Army the last three years of Vietnam; no one owes me anything.

The National Moment of Remembrance is an annual event that asks Americans, wherever they are at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, to pause for a duration of one minute to remember those who have died in military service to the United States. The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying time off of work for the national holiday. The Moment was first proclaimed in May 2000 for Memorial Day that year, and was put in law by the United States Congress in December 2000.

OP Thanks for the reminder!

Thank them by perpetuating what they tood for.

NEVER FORGET!!

While traditionally associated with Remembrance Day (or Veterans Day or Armistice Day), I also think Terry Kelly's admonition to
please give your own pittance of time is completely appropriate today.

Not a combat veteran myself, I honor those who chose to put themselves in harm’s way for us.

My sons JrROTC cadre went to a local Memorial Day ceremony for veterans who are serving, who served in the past and to honor the fallen who never came home. This is his second year in his high school program, he’s looking forward to serving in the Air Force after graduation.

I’m supporting his decision 100% .

To those of you who led and served our Country, thank you very much.

Stay safe.

Thank you! You gave your life freely so I could continue mine freely. For that I am forever grateful.

I'll never forget. I'll never take it for granted.

They say all gave some and some gave all. Today is about those who gave all.
