Honoring our POWs and MIAs: the significance of the fallen comrade table

As part of the City’s Veterans Appreciation Lunch, the tradition of honoring our fallen, missing and imprisoned service members with the Fallen Comrade Table will be continued. Each item on the table carries deep symbolism, reminding us of the brave service members who have not returned home. The lemon symbolizes the bitter fate of the missing. The salt symbolizes the tears of the missing and their families. This tradition serves as a strong reminder that these heroes are not forgotten. Additionally, the POW/MIA flag will be flown November 8-15 at Civic Plaza and Public Works as a tribute to their sacrifice.
