Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who have served our country, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The Missing Man Table, also known as the Fallen Comrade Table is a memorial dedicated to honoring fallen, missing, or imprisoned military service members.
A white tablecloth to symbolize the pure intentions of the service members who responded to the country's call to arms.
A single rose symbolizing the blood that service members have shed in sacrifice to ensure the freedom of the United States of America.
This rose also represents the family and friends who keep the faith while awaiting the return of missing service members.
The red ribbon represents a love of country that inspired the service members to serve their country.
A slice of lemon represents the bitter fate of the missing.
Salt sprinkled on the plate symbolizes the tears shed by waiting families.
An inverted glass represents the fact that the missing and fallen cannot partake.
A Bible represents the spiritual strength and faith to sustain the lost.
A lit candle symbolizes a light of hope that lives in hearts to illuminate the missing's way home.
