All Gave Some, Some Gave All

Our deepest thanks to the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, and to the families they left behind.

Since 9/11, 6,442 Americans have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At 12:01 p.m. today, Iraq and Afghanistan Veternas of America will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and they are asking the nation to join them by observing a moment of silence.

You can sign the pledge to go silent on the IAVA website.
