THE FALLEN SOLDIER TABLE

Optimized-IMG_3521 2.jpg

The Fallen Soldier Table is a place of honor. In setting this table, we acknowledge those missing from our celebration today and we remember them.

THE TABLE IS SMALL, AND SET FOR ONE

Symbolizing the vulnerability of a lone prisoner

THE TABLECLOTH IS WHITE

Symbolizing purity of intention in responding to the nation's call to arms.

THE CHAIR IS EMPTY

For they are not here.

THE WINE GLASS IS INVERTED

They cannot toast with us today.

THE SLICES OF LEMON

Remind us of their bitter suffering.

THE GRAINS OF SALT

Represent the countless tears of the families

THE SINGLE RED ROSE

Reminds us of loved ones who keep the faith awaiting their return.

THE BURNING CANDLE & YELLOW RIBBON

Symbolizing everlasting hope of a reunion with the missing.

Remember! -- All who have served alongside them; those who have donned the same proud uniform, being sworn to the same faith and allegiance --
We will never forget their sacrifice.
