In advance of Memorial Day, the Mine Creek-Paraclifta Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is now offering businesses in Southwest Arkansas a meaningful way to honor Veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
Through the sponsorship of a “Missing Man Table,” businesses can visibly demonstrate their respect and remembrance of our fallen heroes during the week leading up to Memorial Day.
The DAR chapter will set up each table (opportunities are limited) at participating business locations and remove them following Memorial Day. Each Missing Man Table will feature symbolic elements representing service members who are missing in action or never returned home. A small sign explains the significance of each item on the place setting.
DAR invites everyone to join us in honoring those who gave everything to preserve our freedoms. The Missing Man Table is a powerful tribute that brings the meaning of Memorial Day to the forefront in our community.
Persons wanting to to sponsor a Missing Man Table can contact Elizabeth Wilson Overton at 870-845-8419 or via email at [email protected] as soon as possible as table kits are limited and Memorial Day is right around the corner.
