[ISLMA-Share] read aloud for Veteran's Day

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

America's White Table by Margot Theis Raven
Three children set a special white table in memory of service members
fallen or missing in action, and especially in honor of their Uncle Jim, a
POW in Vietnam. A little-known tradition to the civilian world, "the white
table" is a symbol for and remembrance to service members held prisoner of
war or missing in action.  Young Katie comes to understand and appreciate
the depth of sacrifice that her Uncle John and each member of America's
armed services were, and may be, called to give. As a special gift to her
Uncle John, Katie and her sisters are asked to help set the white table for
dinner as their mother explains the significance of each item placed on it
and how the white table is a symbol for and remembrance to service members
fallen, missing, or held captive in the line of duty.
