The Meaning of Memorial Day -- 3pm National Moment of Remembrance

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.
(...)
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

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 or listening to 'Taps."

Do your part today at 3pm and remember our fallen heroes.
