A Moment of Silence was started to honor every American service member killed in action during Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and other locations that our warriors are deployed with a "Moment of Silence" from this day forward.
Every Monday at 6:00 p.m. (CST) we ask that you pause for a Moment of Silence for our heroes that have been killed in action.
HISTORY: On Friday, June 26, 2009 the United States House of Representatives took a moment of silence to mark the passing of a celebrity. However, the very same 435 members cannot extend the same courtesy and honor every time a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Coast Guardsman dies on behalf of our country. On June 26, 2009 this idea/group was developed by Chhandashiki Das and Shelle Michaels and moved forth to the nation that desires to honor our heroes.
Thanks for the awesome support! Please spread the word by inviting your friends or hitting the share button every Monday and please TWEET each warrior individually.
The group admins have taken the time to post the names of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live on our daily lives without interruption. It is our mission to ensure these valiant men and women are always remembered and don't become just another number or a statistic in the minds of people. Every Monday, the list will be updated in the recent news--- naming the heroes individually that have been killed in action. Rest in Peace heroes--- it is time to rest in peace.
Thank you to Michael Yon (www.MichaelYon-online.com) for allowing us to use his photo for this group.
