VFW Post 1741 member Bob Newman, with the help of his wife Marian, recently outfitted a special table for its inaugural display.

The Silent Table honors the loved ones who have been left behind. With the missing comrades table and honors ceremony, Post members can reach out to honor the nation’s prisoners of war and missing in action.

Each item on the table is a symbol of significance, such as the white table cloth depicting “the purity of their intentions to respond to their country’s call to arms.”
