The tablecloth is white – symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call of duty.The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of our fallen comrades, and the loved ones and friends of these comrades who keep the faith.The vase is tied with a red ribbon, a symbol of our continued determination to remember our fallen comrades.
A slice of lemon on the bread plate is to remind us of the bitter fate of those who will never return.
A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears endured by the families of those who have sacrificed all.The Bible represents the strength gained through faith to sustain those lost from our country.The glass is inverted, because they cannot toast with us at this time.The chair is empty because they are no longer with us.
