As the National League of POW/MIA Families explains, the Missing Man Table recognizes soldiers absent from a dining hall because they are prisoners of war or otherwise missing in action. Every element serves a symbolic purpose, from the table's round shape symbolizing "everlasting concern" to a Bible representing "strength gained through faith to sustain us and those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God."

"Thank you again for taking care of our Airmen," she continued. "One of my focus areas is increasing a sense of belonging for all our Airmen a large part of that effort is ensuring that the religious and non-religious feel included and cared for."

As for this "book of faith," Huser told conservative radio host Todd Starnes that it will consist of "spiritual writings and prayers from the five DoD Chaplain appointed faith groups and a sixth set of blank pages to represent those who find solace by other means."

"So she's going to include a bunch of blank pages for those who find solace in—nothing," Starnes reacted.
