 Today, Hackensack-Britian Health is taking time to recognize our country's fallen heroes. All of these men and women were very different individuals, but they had one thing in common, and that one thing is how much they loved the good old USA. Today we give thanks for the valor of others and remember the splendor of America and those of her children who are no longer with us. Here we have a table set up for the unknown soldier. The white tablecloth is straight and symmetrical. The table has one place setting. This setting represents our wish that the fallen men and women of the armed forces could be present at this occasion with us. You will see a white taper candle representing the light of hope. Opposite the candle, a long stem rose is in a vase. You will notice a ribbon tied into a bow on the vase. The inverted wine glass represents the fact that the fallen comrade will not be able to participate in happy toasts. The lemon wedge on the bread plate represents the bitter loss of life of the fallen soldier. A sprinkle of salt over the lemon and on the bread plate represents tears shed for the soldier who was missed. The empty chair at the table in front of the place setting represents the missing comrade. I'd like to ask team member Patricia Weiss, who serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, to place a wreath on the chair. Please bow your heads in a moment of silence. Of our many team members here today, the Nerjes family most recently lost a loved one, Sergeant Anthony D. Madiani of the U.S. Marines. Sergeant Madiani was married to his wife Lindsay just two years prior. His wife was pregnant with their daughter when he was killed. His daughter Avery was born in February 2011. Sergeant Madiani and all the individuals we remember today have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget them and neither will those of us here at Hackensack Meridian Health. I would now ask the Neptune High School Navy, JROTC, to present arms.
