According to the Associated Press, after five years a "National Moment of Remembrance" hasn't caught on. How could there be such a general lack of interest in adding a moment of remembrance, a 30-second pause, to think about the people who sacrificed to make this a great country."
The Congress, by Public Law 106-579, has also designated the minute beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time on that day as a time for all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance.
Surely we can all take at least a moment on Monday to pause, sigh, say a prayer and contemplate those that have defended our way of life.
I join President Bush in asking "all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance beginning at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day."
