CALLING ON ALL
AMERICANS TO JOIN IN A NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE

our lives and the well-being of our nation, I ask you to pause just for a
moment to remember those who gave their lives to protect the values that give
meaning to our lives."

The National Moment of Remembrance program was
established to remind Americans of the sacrifices made by members of the Armed
