Photo contributedBlack Earth veterans observe the Fallen Comrade Table. Benjamin Randall Schuh stands at attention and Tom Bennett presents the flag. This done to honor fallen, missing, or imprisoned service members. A small table is set for one. The white tablecloth symbolizes the pure intentions of service members; the single rose the blood of service members have shed. The red ribbon symbolizes the love of country, the lemon the bitter fate of the missing, the inverted glass shows the missing comrade cannot participate,
