PRESIDENT CLINTON:

President Bill Clinton
May 31, 1999The National Moment of Remembrance program was established to remind Americans of the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces as well as others who have died as a result of service to this nation. Americans around the world should pause and remember these heroes in a symbolic act of unity.
- Objectives:
