The Missing Man Table

The table iscovered with a white tablecloth representing the service member’s purity of intention in answering his or her country’s call to arms.

The table is round to symbolize the concern for the fallen and missing is never ending.

A red rose on the table signifies the blood that was shed and is a reminder that some families and friends still have faith that their missing service member will return. The yellow candle and yellow ribbon symbolize the everlasting hope for a joyous reunion with those still deployed and those missing and yet accounted for.

A slice of lemon on the plate recalls the bitter fate of the missing and salt symbolizes the tears that have been shed. An inverted glass is a reminder that the missing and fallen can no longer partake.

The Bible symbolizes faith and the pledge to defend "one nation under God."

They've doing this for the past few years at the Veteran's Cemetary where my dad is buried. Indoors.
