Memorial Day: Remembering those who have fallen

On Monday, the U.S. honors those who have served but are no longer with us
 
On Monday, the United States observes Memorial Day. This holiday -- like similar observances that take place at other times in other countries -- honors both the memory and sacrifice of those who have served but are no longer with us.

If you are able, I ask you to join me at 3 p.m. local time for the National Moment of Remembrance. This moment of silence is a time for all of us to unite with gratitude in remembering those who served the U.S. and its allies.

I hope that we can spread this Moment throughout the gaming community that for this minute we "lay down our arms" in game.

With honor,
TSK

Nice but I will honor at home... and I will be silent... but it is a day that I like cause my Grandpa that died 1999 was in the navy and I got a tattoo to remember him by.

Sounds like a good idea 2SftKties I will join you in it, but can you define "Local time"

The website (rememberance.gov) says it's 3PM "local" so, it would be 3pm where ever you are.  Of course, this would mean that in game you stop at every hour from 3 pacific to 3 eastern
