Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

It was at about this time in 1972 that I registered to vote for the first time. I had to have a form mailed out to me from Los Angeles, and when I filled it out, I had to go down to the US consul in Saarbrücken, raise my right hand, and swear that the information I had entered was true--no "motor voter" in those days.

Then I mailed in my absentee vote in the California primary--for Rep. John Ashbrook (R-Ohio) for president.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? A good end to the work week?

I only worked half day...6 week check up on my knees. She said 6 to 8 weeks to see if it worked, and it doesn’t work for everyone. I said I would probably be the one. She said, “Hello, Murphy”. And that her brother is Murphy, too. Yesterday was horrible...I could barely walk, but today is much better. Only time will tell.

Big weekend plans?

Howdy buckaroos. It's been a while since I got my country groove on, so tonight I'm featuring a little band out of Columbus, Ohio who formed in 1999 in Nashville and debuted in 2000, taking the music industry by storm. They've released a total of nine studio albums, all of which have been certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America. Those hit albums have accounted for 26 single releases and all of them have charted within the top 20 or higher on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including 12 which reached the number one slot. That's impressive by any standards and speaks to the band's unique ability to speak to the heartland of America.

Consiting of Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney and a select group of Nashville's finest backing musicians, Rascal Flatts has become one of the brightest stars on the country music scene. A recent CMT Crossroads broadcast of the band teaming with rock icons Journey showed them to be solidly grounded in rock as well as their unique brand of pop country featuring Gary LeVox' instantly recognizable lead vocals. In less than 15 years on the scene they've accumulated a laundry list of awards from the Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, The American Music Awards, The American Country Awards, The People's Choice Awards, Radio Music Awards as well as numerous awards from BMI, Billboard and Country Music Television. They've also received Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Songwriter Awards, Stars on the Music City Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 2011 were inducted as Members of the Grand Ole Opry. Their place in the Hall of Fame is still in the future and they appear to be an unstoppable force in popular music.

So relax this weekend and enjoy a showcase of Rascal Flatts.

ROCKUMENTARY: APRIL 26, 1972

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HIT – The Archies: “Strangers in the Morning”

I played this for the DJ’s at KING in Seattle, who universally asked, “Why didn’t we play that?! Who recorded it?” I would answer, “The Archies,” and they would go “Ew-w-w-w!” That brand ruined what should have been a huge hit. It scored well in Europe, but not here.
