From all wars past and present. At 3PM Mon The National Moment of Remembrance takes place. Wherever you may be at 3 PM please observe a moment of silence in honor of our Heroes. If driving, you are asked to turn your headlights on. It's the least we can do for those that have chosen to give their all so that we may continue to live in freedom. And by all means if you know of any Gold Star Families.. Please thank them for their sacrifices as well. Please feel free to share this with your friends... Thanks~ Frances
