Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This table was set aside in honor and reverence of all men and women prisoners of war from all services during the Hospital Corpsmen Ball hosted at the Club Iwakuni Eagles Nest here June 18. The white table cloth symbolized the purity of their intentions in responding to their country’s call to arms so their children could remain free. The burning candle symbolized the frailty of a prisoner alone standing up to his oppressors. The red ribbon was a symbol of those who would not return home, and the rose symbolized the hope of the family members who await their return home. A slice of lemon symbolized the prisoner’s bitter fate if he is never brought home, while salt on the plate symbolized the tears shed by family members awaiting the prisoner’s return home. The glass turned upside down symbolized the prisoners inability to toast everyone else.
