#GoSilent
This Memorial Day, remember to Honor the Fallen.
#GoSilent with IAVA at 3:00 PM local time.
This Memorial Day, IAVA will lay a wreath before local veterans’ monuments, and later pause for a moment of silence at 3PM local. Gather your friends and family across the country and pause with us for a national moment of silence to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Join Us in Paying Tribute
Thank you for joining us to #GoSilent to honor the fallen this Memorial Day. IAVA’s annual #GoSilent campaign is about raising awareness and recognition for our nation’s heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
We encourage you to take the pledge to incorporate a moment of pause and recognition on May 31st at 3PM local time and help spread the word to remind the nation about what this day truly represents. We developed this toolkit to support your efforts in paying tribute to our incredible veterans and their families on your personal and organizational social media channels.
TAKE THE PLEDGE

“… all the Vietnam soldiers who died.”
“… all those who fought for the freedoms my family enjoys today. RIP. You won’t be forgotten.”
“… my brothers who can’t finish their American Dream.”
“… my dad (Korean War vet) & my brother (who didn’t come home from Nam).”
“… all who have seen the end of war…. Rest easy at Fiddler’s Green brothers!”
“… all those soldiers who have died for their country in these wars… including those who came home and lost their lives due to the trauma of war!”

“… all the veterans and those still fighting the battle at home.”
“… all of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice.”
“… the 20 veterans who will die by suicide today, and every day.”
