Ms. Raven talked about her children’s book America’s White Table, published by Sleeping Bear Press. The book explains the Vietnam-era practice of setting a white table to honor fallen, captured, or missing soldiers. As part of the event, Ms. Raven read from her book while children from local schools performed the ceremony of setting the table. A posting of the colors and the singing of the national anthem by WWII veteran Edward Murray preceded the reading. The event was a special ceremony of thanks and remembrance hosted by the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. close
