We place a lemon slice and grains of salt on a plate to show a captive soldier&#8217;s bitter fate and tears of families waiting for loved ones to return. We push an empty chair to the table for the missing soliders who are not here. We lay a black napkin for the sorrow of captivity, and turn over the glass for the meal that won&#8217;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.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durkota.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/052916_chickfila.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-364 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.durkota.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/052916_chickfila-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"052916_chickfila\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/durkota.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/052916_chickfila-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/durkota.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/052916_chickfila-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/durkota.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/052916_chickfila-676x380.jpg 676w, https:\/\/durkota.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/052916_chickfila.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=durk13\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent way too long playing around with the website and twitter.
