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.”

Bob Crewe had made his mark in the Fifties with “Silhouettes” by the Rays, which he wrote and produced. He had made millions as producer and songwriter for the Four Seasons. Now he had his own label and a new vista for accomplishment.

Crewe ran across a band named Billy Lee & the Rivieras, and he renamed them, giving them a string of hits. This song had been a small hit for the Righteous Brothers in 1963 before they signed with Phil Spector. This week it debuted at #60 in its run to the Top 20.

Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels: “Little Latin Lupe Lu”

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wearing my red shirt today...told the doctor and nurses why.
On my way back to hospice now. Errands complete for the day.

Bobby Fuller was from El Paso and was one of many musicians who followed the path of Buddy Holly. This was a song by the Crickets that Fuller recorded, and it peaked at #9 this week.

Did Bobby Fuller commit suicide? Or was he murdered? No one knows, and it’s a cold case today.

The Bobby Fuller Four: “I Fought the Law”

Producer Snuff Garrett had gone to the length of getting Buddy Rich to tutor Gary Lewis in drumming before he threw in the towel and delegated Lewis to lead vocals with over-dubbing to get over the problem of Lewis’ weak voice. He brought in some of the Wrecking Crew to handle instrumental duties. This debuted at #55 on its way to the Top 10.

Safe Passage, Kathy!





Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

[luvie]

Oh, my goodness!!! ((((((hugs)))))

It is SO good to see you! It’s been such a long time!

Where are you living now? Are you still in the service? How
is the family? Tell us what’s been happening in your life!

[luvie]

Very clever! LOL!

[Publius]

I don't think "The African Woman" has been staged in this country since around World War I. They couldn't stage it today. The title alone would kill it.

[Publius]

HIs name was Luigi Sacco, and he was from the Pittsburgh area. He had made a splash on a local label a few years earlier with songs that featured him over-dubbing like Neil Sedaka and working his three octave range like Frankie Valli. Now he signed with MGM Records, and this effort was tossed in the trash by the head of the division. But it broke locally and then went national. This week it came in at #8.

Lou Christie: “Lightning Strikes”

[ConorMacNessa]

Doubtless true, Maestro! And sad indeed, IMO!

“Where were you on Wednesday, March 16, 1966?”

I was but a gleam in my father’s eye. :)

[Publius]

Ah, you were a little squirt.
