SUBJECT: THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE
1. I ENCOURAGE ALL SOLDIERS, CIVILIANS, FAMILIES, AND FRIENDS TO UNITE IN HONOR OF OUR FALLEN BY PARTICIPATING IN "THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE" ON MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 29, 2006 AT 3 P.M. LOCAL TIME, WHEREVER YOU ARE, BY JUST TAKING A MOMENT TO REFLECT ON AND TO SHOW HONOR TO OUR NATION'S HEROES.
ON MEMORIAL DAY, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAMES WILL STOP, TRAIN WHISTLES AROUND THE NATION WILL BLOW, TRUMPETS WILL BLARE AND AMERICANS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, WHEREVER THEY ARE AT 3 P.M. LOCAL TIME, WILL PAUSE FOR A MOMENT IN HONOR OF THOSE WHO DIED IN SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.
2. A GALLUP POLL REVEALED THAT ONLY 28% OF AMERICANS KNOW THE MEANING OF MEMORIAL DAY AND MOST VIEW IT AS A "DAY OFF" RATHER THAN A DAY TO CONNECT WITH OUR NATION'S HISTORY BY HONORING THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US. UNITE WITH OTHERS AND TOGETHER LET'S PUT THE "MEMORIAL" BACK IN MEMORIAL DAY
AND RECLAIM THIS HOLIDAY OF REMEMBRANCE BY DEMONSTRATING GRATITUDE AND RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN SERVICE TO OUR NATION SO THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE IN FREEDOM.
3. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL COMMANDS TO MAKE APPROPRIATE EFFORTS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF "THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE" BY PROMOTING THE "MOMENT" IN ROUTINE ANNOUNCEMENTS, MEMORANDUMS, INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS SENT
TO ALL EMPLOYEES, ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGES AND AT PUBLIC EVENTS LEADING UP TO MEMORIAL DAY. I ASK THAT YOU ALSO INCLUDE THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE IN YOUR SCHEDULED TRADITIONAL MEMORIAL DAY ACTIVITIES/EVENTS.
4. PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICES MAY PROMOTE THE "MOMENT" THROUGH LOCAL PAPERS, PLACING A LINK ON INSTALLATION/UNIT WEBSITES, DISPLAYING "THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE" POSTERS THROUGHOUT INSTALLATIONS, AND USING
PROMOTIONAL ITEMS AVAILABLE AT WWW.REMEMBER.GOV.
5. REQUEST THAT PUBLIC FACILITIES (E.G. POST EXCHANGES, MWR FACILITIES) ANNOUNCE AND OBSERVE THE "MOMENT" AS WELL. THIS MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PLAYING THE MUSICIAL VIDEO OR AUDIO ANNOUNCEMENT FOUND AT WWW.REMEMBER.GOV OR BY PLAYING TAPS OR RINGING A BELL THREE TIMES FOR THE OBSERVANCE AT 3
P.M. LOCAL TIME.
