Take the Pledge this Memorial Day to #GoSilent with IAVA
The annual pause pays tribute to fallen servicemembers.
A time for remembrance and reflection, Memorial Day takes a special meaning not just for those who've served, but for those who’ve lost a loved one. On Monday, May 29th at 3pm local time, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) will honorably hold a national moment of silence in recognition of the departed. In addition to partaking in the #GoSilent campaign, we here at GOVX encourage Americans like you to help get the word out, continue to advocate for veteran services, and support IAVA’s mission to connect, unite, and empower post 9/11 veterans.
