Entergy Honors POW/MIA with Somber Remembrance of the ‘Empty Chair’

Sep 25, 2017

A table set for one, draped in white cloth, sits outside a cafeteria at Entergy's Echelon building in Jackson, Mississippi. As hundreds gaze in passing, questions swirl around the importance of this table, daintily set with a single rose.n nThe POW/MIA movement recognizes the many men and women either captured as prisoners of war or missing in action. The tradition of setting a separate table in honor of these soldiers has been in place since the end of the Vietnam War.n nOn Sept. 15, Entergy employees crafted the ‘silent table’ as a way to remember the sacrifices Americans made to defend the nation. The display noted the following:nnThe table, set for one, is small to symbolize the frailty of a prisoner against his/her oppressor. nThe table is round to show America’s everlasting concern for the many missing men and women. nThe tablecloth is white to symbolize the purity of their intentions to respond to their country’s Call to Arms.nThe candle’s flame symbolizes eternal life for the unselfish courage and valor demonstrated in the fight for freedom and democracy.nThe single red rose, in a vase, reminds us of the families and loved ones of our comrades who keep the faith while awaiting answers.nThe vase is tied with a ribbon as a symbol of our continued determination to account for the missing.nA slice of lemon on the bread plate is to remind us of the bitter fate of those captured or missing in a foreign land.nThere is salt upon the bread plate to symbolize the family’s tears.nThe glass is inverted because these soldiers cannot toast with us today.nLastly, the chair is empty because these soldiers are not here.nnEntergy employs thousands of veterans and those currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. These dedicated, disciplined and skilled employees provide a diverse perspective that is a strategic advantage for our business, and the company implements programs and initiatives to promote an inclusive culture for them.
