America's white table / Margot Theis Raven ; illustrated by Mike Benny.
Three children set a special white table in memory of service members fallen or missing in action, and especially in honor of their Uncle Jim, a POW in Vietnam. A little-known tradition to the civilian world, "the white table" is a symbol for and remembrance to service members held prisoner of war or missing in action. Solitary and solemn, it is the table where no one will ever sit. Young Katie comes to understand and appreciate the depth of sacrifice that her Uncle John and each member of America's armed services were, and may be, called to give. As a special gift to her Uncle John, Katie and her sisters are asked to help set the white table for dinner as their mother explains the significance of each item placed on it and how the white table is a symbol for and remembrance to service members fallen, missing, or held captive in the line of duty.
