Americans observe one minute of complete silence at 11:00 am on November 11th each year, in remembrance of the Armistice signed by the Allies and Germany in 1918, ending World War I. This moment of silence is observed to honor and remember the veterans who have served in the Armed Forces.

Moments of silence are usually held in honor of a solemn event. They are not mandatory for any particular event or customary for an annual occasion. They happen when people feel the need calls for quiet reflection.
