#GoSilent

Thank you for joining IAVA as we #GoSilent this Memorial Day at 3PM to honor American heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service and dedication to our nation. Gather your friends and family across the country and pause with us for a national moment of silence to honor those lost, their loved ones, and the legacy they leave behind.

This year, IAVA draws special attention to the at least 13 U.S. service members killed in the most recent conflict with Iran. Our troops have been sent into harm’s way without clear public understanding of the scope, duration, or end goal of the mission. While these men and women faced that uncertainty, they did not hesitate to uphold the oath they swore to defend this nation. Even as many at home struggle to make sense of this new chapter of war, these service members never wavered. They gave everything in service to this country, and this Memorial Day, we #GoSilent to honor their sacrifice, remember their names, and ensure their service is never forgotten.

We encourage you to take the pledge to incorporate a moment of pause and recognition on May 25th at 3PM local time and help spread the word to remind the nation about what this day truly represents. Below are some social media posts we created to spread the word in honoring our nation’s heroes.
