This Memorial Day, and throughout Military Appreciation Month, the cafeteria inside Mission Hospital hosts a Missing Man Table, meant to remind us of the fallen, missing or imprisoned U.S. Military Service Members. 🇺🇸

Each item on the Missing Man Table represents the emotions and feelings reserved for those who did not come home. The ceremony symbolizes that they are with us, here in spirit:

• The table is round, to show our everlasting concern for our missing Service Members.

• 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 lighted candle reflects our hope for their return, alive or dead.

• The glass is inverted, symbolizing their inability to share a toast.

• And the chair is empty, the seat that remains unclaimed at the table.

We honor these brave men and women who answered our nation’s call to serve and fought for our freedom with honor.
