*late, but save for next year
There are 525,600 minutes in a year, so hear me out please.
Join Me This Memorial Day in Honoring the Fallen During the National Moment of Remembrance
This coming Monday, I’m hoping you’ll take one of those minutes to join me in remembering the brave souls who died while serving. I plan to observe a moment of silence in honor of those fallen.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, this minute of silence, known as the National Moment of Remembrance, “encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. during their own local time on Memorial Day to remember and honor those who have died in service to this nation.”
Although it certainly doesn’t seem sufficient, each year I look forward to this simple way of thanking and paying tribute to the hundreds of thousands who have sacrificed — quite literally — everything in the name of freedom.
The “National Moment of Remembrance Act” (S. 3181) was passed on Dec. 28, 2000, according to the American Presidency Project. A statement released by the Office of the Press Secretary following the approval of S. 3181 notes that “each Memorial Day, the Nation honors those Americans who died while defending our Nation and its values. The observance of a National Moment of Remembrance is a simple and unifying way to commemorate our history to honor the struggle to protect our freedoms.”
Think and ponder what these souls have done for the all citizens of this nation.
It’s because of these individuals that I personally am able to continue to stand up and fight for what I believe.
It’s because of these individuals that millions are able to carry a firearm to defend themselves and loved ones against those who would wish to do them harm.
It’s because of these individuals that I am able to live out my mission, spreading the word of God Given Free thought and the need to stand up for freedom and against tyranny in ANY form.
It’s humbling to be on the receiving end of such selflessness, and so it’s for these souls that I plan on observing that moment of silence this Monday.
Amid the bonfires and the BBQ’s and other festive activities that have become synonymous with Memorial Day, I hope you’ll join me in remembering and cherishing the precious gifts those individuals died to preserve.
God bless the fallen, their family and friends. God bless their ultimate sacrifices. And God bless the future of this nation for our children, grand-children and future generations to come.
