Here is the point behind the scene(notice the flag hanging from the coat rack): This table set for one is small...it symbolizes the frailty of one prisoner alone against his or her suppressors. The table cloth is white...symbolizing the purity of their intentions to respond to their country's call to arms. The single rose displayed in a vase...signifies the blood they may have shed in a sacrifice to ensure the freedom of our beloved United States of America. It also reminds us of the families and friends of our comrades in arms who keep faith, while awaiting their return. The red ribbon...tied so prominently on the vase, is reminiscent of the red ribbon worn upon the lapel and breast of thousands, who bear witness to their unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting for our missing.(not in this image, didn't have the ribbon) The candle...is reminiscent of the light of hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate their way home, away from their captors, to open arms of a grateful nation. A slice of lemon...is on the plate to remind us of their bitter fate. There is salt...sprinkled upon the bread plate symbolic of the countless family tears as they wait. The glass is inverted...they cannot toast with us at this time. The chair...is empty...They are NOT here.
