It's Time For My Annual "Don't Forget To Remember" Post

The National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day to pause in an act of national unity (duration: one minute).

The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday.

The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died for our freedom. It will help to reclaim Memorial Day as the sacred and noble holiday it was meant to be. In this shared remembrance, we connect "On This Day" (click to download the song as sung by Sara Evans and others) as Americans.

9/8 Country Weekly Spotlights Jimmy Wayne And Sara Evans

Wayne is back on the charts with a Top 5 hit, “Do You Believe Me Now,” a song that he considers life-changing.

“We’d already decided on the first single [from his new CD],” Jimmy tells Country Weekly. “But I fell in love with this song and was willing to fight for it.” The label agreed to make “Do You Believe Me Now” the debut single. “That one song catchin’ fire like that is the best thing, because that one thing changed my life,” he says. Jimmy also talks about his traumatic childhood in North Carolina and the time he spent in a place “where the county kept delinquent kids.”

Sara has recently partnered with Libby’s to record the company’s famous commercial jingle (click the link to hear her update of it) and promote family dinnertime. “The whole concept is to bring people back to the dinner table,” Sara tells Country Weekly. “And I have always been a big believer in family dinnertime. So, teaming up with Libby’s on this campaign was perfect for me.” Sara’s version of the famous jingle kicks off Sept. 1 on radio stations nationwide.
