The Fallen and Missing Comrade Table

On the table, a series of items hold important meaning:
鈥 The table is round, because our concern is everlasting.
鈥 The cloth is white, symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call to serve.
鈥 The single red rose in the vase signifies the blood they may have shed to secure our freedom. The rose also reminds us of their loved ones and their pain.
鈥 The red ribbon represents our continued determination to account for our missing.
鈥 A slice of lemon reminds us of their bitter fate.
鈥 A pinch of salt symbolizes the countless fallen tears of their families.
鈥 The glass is inverted because they cannot share a toast with us.
鈥 The lighted candle reflects our hope for their return to a grateful nation.
鈥 The chair is empty, a seat that remains unclaimed at the table.
