While Americans are quite familiar with solemn ceremonies and parades to honor our nation's veterans, not all are familiar with one particular commemoration called the Missing Man table. At Richard T. Stank Middle School, Ms. Foran's Library Skills classes observed Veterans Day by creating a “Missing Man” table, also called a Fallen Comrade table or America’s White Table. Said Ms. Foran, "The table was set up to remind us of those military members who never came home, including the fallen, the prisoners of war and those missing in action."
