From The White House Commission on Remembrance:
The National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day to pause in an act of national unity (duration: one minute).The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died for our freedom. It will help to reclaim Memorial Day as the sacred and noble holiday it was meant to be. In this shared remembrance, we connect as Americans.
Has anyone noticed that new button I put over on the left side? The Tits for Troops link? You really should take a gander over there (it's a bit slow to load, but worth the wait). You might even see a few people that you recognize. Yes, it is a bit of an unusual Memorial Day Tribute, but the site is put together by the lovely Vixen and certainly qualifies as a troop morale booster. Anyone who is interested in participating can read more about it [HERE].

One minute is really a pittance of time that all should be able to afford.
I did click over to Tits for Troops. It’s impressive, Dana. I wonder why no one thought of something like that when I was an army officer?
Hear, hear Nick!! Our troops deserve so much more than a minute, one day a year. Be proud of all that our fighting men and women do and be proud to say so!! All day and every day. We literally owe them our very lives and freedom.
Tits for troops is a nice start though!
Great post as usual Dana!
