In Nassau County, leaders hope the idea of a unified moment of silence on Memorial Day catches on. GusoffTV reports.
As CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reports, county officials are hoping the idea of a unified moment of silence catches on. "Because I love America. I love our country, our people, our veterans, our soldiers," said Laura Shortmeyer of Farmingdale.
"I think its important that we all celebrate America and everything they sacrificed," said Farmingdale resident Gina Brienza. "To remember everyone who sacrificed their lives for the country," said Danielle Kercy. "Freedom of speech. Freedom to protest. Freedom of religion. Freedom that this country has today," said Freeport Mayor Robert T. Kennedy.
Sirens blared at noon. Church bells rang and buses paused. Bruce Blakeman launched the county-wide moment of silence after seeing how Israel observes holocaust remembrance day. "For 50 seconds, we're asking everybody, stop what you're doing," Blakeman said."It's a solemn day. It's a day to remember that there are a lot of young people who never came back from war."
