Let's take a moment to thank the Men and Women that made this day possible.  Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. It was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. As a result of the National holiday Act of 1971, it is now celebrated in almost every state on the last Monday in May.

To help remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, he National Moment of Remembrance 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.”

So if you are reading this before 3PM your time, please take a moment to remember our soldier heroes - and the family they left behind.
