Bill Summary
Veterans Day Moment of Silence Act
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Veterans Day Moment of Silence Act, proposes to amend title 36 of the United States Code, which deals with Patriotic and National Observances. The key provision is the addition of a new section that requires the President to issue a proclamation each year encouraging all Americans to observe two minutes of silence on Veterans Day. This moment of silence is intended to honor the service and sacrifice of veterans throughout the nation's history, and the proclamation would specify the exact times for this observance across different U.S. time zones, starting at 11:11 a.m. Pacific Standard Time and extending to 3:11 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time.
