Each year at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day, Americans unite in a National Moment of Remembrance which honors America's fallen and their families. During this time, 200 Amtrak trains blast their whistles, approximately one-half million Major League Baseball fans at ballparks around the U.S. are joined in silence, and countless other participants pause to remember the sacrifice made by the fallen.

Yes I did, but then my hubby was 20 years in the military. These tributes mean a lot to families like mine who lost a loved one. While my hubby was not killed in action, he did die as a direct result of his service.
