In Memoriam
The Military caste is filled with symbology.
The TABLE is set for one – allow that "one" to
represent all of our "brothers" who are not with us tonight.
The TABLECLOTH is white – symbolizing the
purity of intentions to respond to their country’s
call to arms.
The single ROSE in the vase - reminds us of the
families who loved them.
The RED RIBBON tied to prominently on the
vase – the closeness we shared.
The slice of LEMON on the plate – is to remind
us of their fate.
There is SALT upon the bread plate Symbolizing
the fears of their families.
The GLASS is inverted – they cannot toast with
us this night.
The CHAIR is empty – they are not here.
