NASCAR observes National Moment of Remembrance: At 3:00pm, local time Monday, NASCAR joined millions of Americans in the National Moment of Remembrance, a moment of reflection dedicated to those who served, fought for, and died for American freedom. Hence, NASCAR has requested that fans worldwide take a moment to acknowledge those who have selflessly protected our freedom. ” Probably, for their whole lives, people have heard names like Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Saigon, and all the wars we’ve fought and all the people that have died to give us our freedom, but they couldn’t find those places on the map,”said NASCAR director of operations Kevin Triplett. On December 28, 2000, by P.L. 106-579, the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance was established. It has the personal support of the President of the United States.(NASCAR.com)(5-27-2002)
