Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring the military personnel 

who died in the service of our country, particularly those who had died in battle 

or as a result of the wounds they sustained.

"  To ensure the sacrifices of America ’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the 
White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. 
The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance. "


" The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans 
to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day 
for a minute of silence to remember and honor 
those who have died in service to the nation. "
