The National Moment of Remembrance Act was established by Congress in 2000. It calls upon Americans to observe the Moment at 3 p.m., local time, Memorial Day. Wherever Americans are, they are to pause to remember all the service-members who have fallen for our American freedoms throughout our nation's history. The White House Commission on Remembrance was founded with this act and its mission is to make sure that our fallen are never forgotten. Please visit www.remember.gov.
