Moment of Silence

On May 24, 1999, hundreds of thousands of people around the world came together at one moment in time for one purpose. We stopped what we were doing and quietly observed two minutes of silence for peace in the Balkans. Click here to browse through the signatures of more than 25,400 of those who joined us.
