Table of Honor

The Table, with its place settings, is a way of symbolizing
the fact that members of the law enforcement community
throughout our country are missing.
The table is set for one, though the number is many.
The Chairs are empty. They can no longer join us.
The Tablecloth is white - symbolizing the purity of
their intentions to serve their communities.
The Candle is lit - symbolizing their spirit to serve.
The glass is inverted - they cannot drink nor toast
with us this day.
A slice of Lemon is on the plate to remind us of their
bitter fate.
The single Red Rose displayed in the vase is to remind
us of their families. and loved ones.
The Salt upon the plate is symbolic of their tears.
The Blue Ribbon tied so prominently on the vase reminds
us of the "Thin Blue Line" which stands strong
before those who would destroy law and order in our
great nation.
Many of you served with these peace officers and
called them "partner". We relied upon them; depended
upon their might, and their aid. Surely they have not
forsaken us.
You called them "Brothers." You called them "Sisters."
