Memorial Weekend.

We miss you every day, but this weekend, we pray that others might pause & take a moment during their holiday to raise a glass & think of you.

Not with sadness for the loss of you, but with a kind smile knowing you died a warrior with your brothers & sisters.

Always in our hearts.

Always on our minds.

Thank you.

❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙

"Missing Man Table"

The symbolism of the Missing Man Table:

--The table is round, to show our everlasting concern for our missing men. --The cloth is white, symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call to serve. --The single red rose; displayed in a vase, reminds us of the lives of these Americans and their loved ones and friends who keep the faith while seeking answers. --The red ribbon symbolizes our continued determination to account for our missing. --A slice of lemon reminds us of their bitter fate --A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears of our missing and their families who long for answers after decades of uncertainty. --The lighted candle reflects our hope for their return. --The Bible represents the strength gained through faith to sustain us and those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God. --The glass is inverted, symbolizing their inability to share a toast. --The chair is empty, the seat that remains unclaimed at the table.

This Day in History: History of Memorial Day

At about this time in 1971, Memorial Day is observed on a new date. If you don’t know much about the history of this weekend’s holiday, then you are not alone. To some degree, its origins remain shrouded in mystery.

It all began with the Civil War—the deadliest conflict in American history. More than 600,000 soldiers were killed, and those deaths left gaping holes in communities. Americans all over the country began holding springtime tributes to their fallen soldiers. Soon, some of these tributes started to become more formal.

Would you believe that at least 25 cities claim that *their* observances were the ones that started it all?!
