Disney Puts Out “Missing Hero Tables” In Observance of Memorial Day
As people around the United States take time to pause and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, I wanted to bring your attention to something that Disney is doing to observe Memorial Day.
Throughout the Disneyland Resort hotels, as well as at select backstage locations at Walt Disney World, Disney has put out Missing Hero tables.
These tables are reserved to honor the brave and selfless American military members who gave their lives in service of their country, or who went missing in action and have not found their way back home.
A Series of Symbols
More than simply an empty table, the Missing Hero tables are full of symbolic meaning. Here are some of the notable features.
– The table is set for one, symbolizing the frailty of one isolated prisoner
– A slice of lemon on the bread plate reminds us of the bitter fate of those who will never return.
– A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears endured by those who have sacrificed all.
– An inverted glass is symbolic of those who cannot toast with us at this time.
– The empty chair reminds us they are no longer with us.
Honoring Our Heroes On Memorial Day
On this Memorial Day, these Missing Hero tables serve as a reminder of what the holiday is all about. So please, take some time out of your day today, to remember those who gave all and the families they left behind.
