Missing Man Ceremony We have some honored guests who cannot be with us that deserve to be honored with our attention and respect. This ceremony calls for designating a POW/MIA place setting as a physical symbol of the thousands of American POW/MIA's still unaccounted for from all foreign conflicts. May we all be reminded to spare no effort in securing the release of any American prisoners from captivity, the repatriation of the remains of those who died bravely in defense of liberty, and a full accounting of those missing in action. The ceremony explains the symbolism of the POW/MIA Place Setting. THE TABLE- The table is small, symbolizing the helplessness of one person, alone against his oppressors. THE CHAIR- The chair is empty, for they are not here. THE CLOTH- The tablecloth is white for the purity of their intentions in responding to their country's call to arms. THE SALT- The salt is symbolic of the tears shed by those who wait. THE GLASS- The glass is inverted, for the cannot toast with us. THE LEMON- A slice of lemon is on the bread plate to remind us of their bitter fate. THE NAPKIN- The napkin is black symbolizing the black hearts of some of our leaders and politicians who abandoned and forgot them. THE ROSE- The single red rose in a vase reminds us of the families and loved ones who kept faith, awaiting the return of our POW/MIA's. THE RIBBONS- The yellow, red, and black ribbons represents the ribbons and symbols worn upon the lapels and breasts of thousands who bear witness to our Nations unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting of our POW/MIA's THE BIBLE- The bible represents the strength gained through faith, to sustain those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God. THE CANDLE- The candle is the light of hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate their way home, out of the hands of their oppressors and into the arms of a grateful nation. THE FLAG- The flag is a symbol of our country that represents our great nation and the untiring fight for freedom, liberty, and justice for all. That so many before us have paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their life, so that we may live in freedom. Remember, we all call them comrades, brothers, sisters, and friends. Do not let them be forgotten, for surely they have not forgotten us. Please pause for a moment of silence in honor of our Prisoners of war and Missing in Action.
