Benediction

Mr. Josiah Lootens

 

 

 

During our Khaki Ball we learned about proper etiquette at a formal dinner and the reason behind  Khaki Balls.

 

 

Abigail explained the symbolism of the POW/MIA Table.

 

POW/MIA Table

The table is set for our prisoners of war and those missing in action.

 

The chair is empty because they are not with us.

Remember

 

The white table cloth reminds us of the purity of their actions to respond to their countries call to fight for freedom.

Remember

 

The lone candle reminds us of the frailty of one prisoner alone.

Remember

 

The black ribbon reminds us of those who will not be coming home.

Remember

 

The single rose reminds us of the loved ones and family waiting.

Remember

 

The lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their situation.

Remember

 

The salt reminds of us their families tears.

Remember

 

Remember those whom we depended on in battle and fought for our freedom.
