[CanYoAssDigIt] Imperial Stormtroopers RIP

Wars are always about our freedom, aren't they? Since WW2 the US has not
made war to defend itself once.For that one minute at 3:00, will US
torture worldwide stop for one minute? Will Homeland Security stop for
one minute reminding people that they better be careful what they say?
Will there be a 60-second hiatus in the persecution of victimless crimes
like recreational drug use and prostitution? Will the corporate state
turn over control to the populace for one minute? Any bets?

*Memorial Day National Moment of Remembrance*
/Citizens asked to pause at 3:00 p.m. to reflect on freedom /

*OLYMPIA --* On Monday,May 30, 2005, at 3 p.m., Americans across the
country will join President Bush in taking a moment to remember and
honor those men and women who died in service to our country.

Washington State citizens are asked to participate in this act of
national unity, designed to encourage people to reflect for one minute
on those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

"/The National Moment of Remembrance is an act of American unity to
honor our heroes, make the day relevant to our younger generations, and
demonstrate gratitude and respect. It is a moment that everyone can
spare/," said John King, director of the Washington State Department of
Veterans Affairs.

The White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance was
established by an act of Congress, to put the "memorial" back in
Memorial Day and to reclaim its original purpose of honoring America's
fallen heroes.

The time was chosen because mid-afternoon is when many Americans are
enjoying the freedoms ensured by those who fought to preserve them. The
one-minute pause in activities at 3 p.m. local time is not intended to
replace Memorial Day ceremonies, but to highlight the purpose of
Memorial Day and to reflect on the sacrifice of those who died for our
freedom.

President Abraham Lincoln summed up the importance of remembering all
fallen heroes when he said, "The mystic chords of memory, stretching
from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart...should
swell into a mighty chorus of remembrance, gratitude and rededication on
this solemn occasion."
