Bueller on Reflection and Life
“Life moves pretty quick. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
–Ferris Bueller

Sales history…
Monday is Memorial Day in the U.S. – a day to pay tribute to the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States.
It was first established on a national level in 1868 (3 years after the Civil War) and became a federal holiday in 1971.
In 1950, the Congress, by a joint resolution, approved a request to the president to issue a proclamation mission on the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people might unite in prayer – 11 am local time.
Also, Congress designated 3 pm local time as a time for all Americans to observe the National Moment of Memory (1 minute of silence… illumination on if you’re driving) to remember and honor those who died in service to the United States.
