                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas the preservation of basic freedoms and world peace has always 
  been a valued objective of this nation;

Whereas thousands of American men and women have selflessly given their 
  lives in service as peacemakers and peacekeepers;

Whereas greater strides should be made to demonstrate appreciation for 
  these loyal Americans and the ultimate sacrifice they each made;

Whereas Memorial Day is an appropriate day to remember American heroes 
  by inviting the people of the United States to honor these heroes at 
  a designated time;

Whereas Memorial Day needs to be made relevant to both present and 
  future generations of Americans; and

Whereas a National Moment of Remembrance each Memorial Day at 3:00 
  p.m., local time, would provide the people of the United States an 
  opportunity to participate in a symbolic act of American unity: Now, 
  therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
        (1) calls on the people of the United States to observe a 
    National Moment of Remembrance to honor the men and women of the 
    United States who died in the pursuit of freedom and peace; and
        (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation calling on 
    the people of the United States to observe such a National Moment 
    of Remembrance.
  Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.

  Attest:

                                               Secretary of the Senate.
