Table of Honor

Len — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:46:10 +0000

The hats of our heroes on the table symbolize a brave life that made the ultimate sacrifice.

The table cloth is white, symbolizing the purity of their intentions to respond to their country’s and communities call to arms — so that their children could remain free. We remember.

The lone candle symbolizes the frailty of an officer alone on the street, standing up against his oppressors. We remember.

The black ribbon on the candle reminds us of those who will not be coming home. We remember.

The single rose reminds us of the loved ones our comrades in arms left behind. We remember.

A slice of lemon is on the bread plate to remind us of their bitter fate. We remember.

There is salt on the plate, symbolic of the family’s tears as they mourn the loss of a love one. We remember.

The glasses are inverted. They cannot toast with us tonight . We must remember.

As we look upon this empty table, do not remember ghosts from the past, remember our brothers and sisters. Remember those whom we depended on. They depend on us to bring them honor and respect.remember our friends. They are the ones we love — who loved life and freedom as we do.

Please honor and remember them.
