About the National Moment of Remembrance Act, signed by former President Bill Clinton on December 28, 2000:

The 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.
