Awesome: Chick-Fil-A restaurants remember fallen soldiers for Memorial Day

Two restaurants in Alabama are remembering the fallen soldiers who died for our freedoms by setting a table in their memory, and the Facebook post talking about it has gone viral already.

Here’s the post from Facebook:

Here’s what’s written on the sign:

“We cover a small table with a white cloth to honor a soldier’s pure heart when he answers his country’s call to duty. We place a lemon slice and grains of salt on a plate to show a captive soldier’s bitter fate and tears of families waiting for loved ones to return. We push an empty chair to the table for the missing soldiers who are not here. We lay a black napkin for the sorrow of captivity, and turn over the glass for the meal that won’t be eaten. We place a white candle for peace. And finally a red rose in a vase tied with a red ribbon for the hope that all our missing will return someday. You are not forgotten so long as there is one left in whom your memory remains.”

Isn’t that great? I know that many Americans just think Memorial Day is the beginning of Summer and a time to fire up the grill, but this story and others like it show that many Americans remember the incredible sacrifices made for them and this great country by the military.
