Laughing, crying and sharing our lives together as we did so many years ago. It was a very moving experience but one that carried with it a much different maybe older and wiser view of the land and the people. I am walking away with a better, kinder view of this country and her people. It is a table set for each member of our Armed Services. Allow me to explain.
Military tradition is filled with pride, customs and symbolism.
This table is our way of symbolizing the fact that members of our profession of arms are missing from our midst. You remember them as your buddies. We call them Fallen Comrades. The table setting is small, symbolizing the frailty of a prisoner alone against his oppressors. The table cloth is black, symbolizing the uncertainty of our comrades' fate.
