Sacred Tradition The MIA Table Ceremony Explained

A solemn and powerful POW/MIA Remembrance Ceremony honoring America’s missing service members — those who did not return, and those who still have not come home.

This ceremony centers around the POW/MIA Missing Man Table, a symbolic place setting that represents service members who are prisoners of war, missing in action, or otherwise unaccounted for.

Every item on the table holds meaning… the white tablecloth, the single red rose, the lemon slice, the salt of family tears, the empty chair, and the candle symbolizing the unquenchable spirit.

This video features the full spoken ceremony, including the repeated call to “Remember” — a moving reminder of the sacrifice, courage, and devotion of those who served and never returned home.

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.
