The table that stands before you is a place of honor. In setting this table, we acknowledge those missing from our celebration tonight. And we remember them. The table is small, and set for one -- Symbolizing the vulnerability of a lone prisoner against his captors. Remember. The tablecloth is white -- Symbolizing purity of intention in responding to the nation's call to arms. Remember. The chair is empty, for they are not here. Remember. The wine glass is inverted -- They cannot toast with us this night. Remember. The slices of lemon -- Reminding us of their bitter suffering. Remember. The grains of salt -- Representing the countless tears of the families. Remember. The single red rose -- Reminding us of loved ones who keep the faith awaiting their return. Remember. The burning candle and yellow ribbon -- Symbolizing everlasting hope of a reunion with the missing. Remember. Remember all who have served alongside them; we who have donned the same proud uniform, being sworn to the same faith and allegiance -- We will never forget their sacrifice. Remember. Remember until the day they return home, or find eternal peace, we will remember.
