Today and Everyday We Honor
A small table shows one soldier’s lonely battle against many.
A white cloth honors a soldier’s pure heart when he answers his country’s call to duty.
A lemon slice and grains of salt on a plate shows a captive soldier’s bitter fate and the tears of families waiting for loved ones to return.
An empty chair represents the missing soldiers who are not here.
A black napkin is for the sorrow of captivity.
A turned over glass is for the meal that won’t be eaten.
A white candle is for peace.
A red rose in a vase tied with a red ribbon for the hope that all our missing will return someday.
