I am a
bracelet wearer, I wear it everyday. It reminds me of all that
I have and what my "Buddy" could not have. Each time I get
it snagged on something, I am amazed often by the item
snagged. Usually it is an item of comfort, obliviously my
"Buddy" has had none of these items. My bracelet is always
with me as is the legacy of a soldier I will never know. I am proud
to wear my bracelet and I honor with all my heart those who served.
The name honored on my bracelet is, John N.
Huntley (9-27-69) I just wanted his family to know that
someone stills wears his bracelet and will continue until he comes
home.

Sprick family,
I just recently found this site and wanted to contact you. I have
worn a bracelet for Doyle for
almost 20 years now. It has only been off when I had to have
surgery. Even though I know nothing about him I feel as though he
will always be a part of my life. I don't think a single day goes by
that I don't think of him. I guess I don't know what else to say. I
just wanted you to know someone is thinking about your loved one.

I have worn my
bracelet day and night ever since 1972. The name on the
bracelet is James Klimo. I
purchase a bracelet, along with everyone else in my family, the
month I left active duty (6th Armored Cav, 1970-71, and 1st Inf Div,
1971-2). When our POWs came home and were greeted on the
tarmac, each of the men on the bracelets worn by my family was
accounted for except mine - Specialist Klimo. Years later,
people ask me why I still wear it; and I tell them what I was
told as a young lieutenant at Armored Officers Basic School.
It was the second
week of July, 1970. I was a member of class AOB1 (Armored
Officer Basic class #1 for training year 1970) at Fort Knox.
The entire class was ushered into an auditorium. The lecturer
was a major with the Canadian Armed Services. The major told
us he had been stationed in Hanoi up until 60 days before with the
International Control Commission (a vestige of the French-Indochina
War). I wish I could remember the major's name, but I will
never forget what he told us that day. He explained
that, while stationed in Hanoi, he saw prison gangs comprising
French prisoners taken at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 being used in the
city to cleanup American bomb debris. And they were still
there at the time he left a few weeks earlier. "Gentlemen,"
he concluded, "One day this war will be over, but not all of
your men will be coming home. Don't leave them behind." It
has been so many years now. I don't know whether any of
our men do remain behind. But I cannot forget what the major
said that day. That is why I continue to wear it day and
night.

I have no idea if this is the proper site for the information that I
am interested in. I am certain that you are familiar with the
bracelets that were worn in the 60's for our missing and fallen
comrades. I have one such bracelet with the name of Major
Charles Dale dated 6/9/65. I don't know any
personal history about Major Dale concerning his family but I
was wondering if he has any surviving children who might possibly be
interested in the bracelet so that they would know that Major Dale
was honored and remembered by the person that wore this bracelet.
I have kept this bracelet for
many years and every time I see the bracelet it brings back memories
from long but never forgotten
times.

To the family of LCDR William Tromp of
Fennville, MI, I continue to preserve and cherish the POW/MIA
bracelet I bought in 1970. To my amazement, William Tromp
grew up within an hour of my home in Michigan. I have a
newspaper article regarding a memorial planting of a tree in his
honor at South Haven's municipal marina. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Lyle Tromp are pictured in the article. There was also a
picture of William Tromp in uniform. How proud they must have
been!
I now have a daughter who is completing
basic training in Ft. ____________ and will be
dispatched to Army Intelligence in the near future. Since the
age of 16 all she's wanted to do was join.
Thank you to all who serve(d) - all
gave some, and some gave all.
God rest your soul William.

Hello. I was going
through some stuff that belonged to my mother that she gave to me as
a child, of which included a box of costume jewelry. I didn't
have a need for any of this stuff any longer as I don't have
children of my own, so I put it on ebay. Another ebay user
sent me a message about a copper bracelet that was in the lot...it
is engraved Capt.
PETER GRUBB 9-17-1967.
The user told me that this bracelet was worn in remembrance during a
protest for prisoners of the Vietnam war. I removed the
bracelet from the listing and did a search online, trying to find
family to return this bracelet to, and I found the following link http://www.pownetwork.org/bios/n/n001.htm about
Capt. Grubb. Do you know how I find out more info such as
whether or not he has family I can return this bracelet to? I
have no idea how this bracelet came in to my family's possession,
though I suspect it was from a second hand store or yard sale
because we have no history of this name in my family. Any
advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ali Jensen

RICHARD LACEY, Army
I purchased, or was given, a POW bracelet when I was approximately
12 years old. I wore it for a long while and then it got placed in a
box. I have moved many times and it will reappear and remind me of
my "friend." His name is Richard Lacey. I did contact a
POW number on the original paper that came with my bracelet and
found out that, at that time, Richard was still MIA. I cried for a
while for the brave man lost to his family. On that date he would
have been 42. I wanted to contact a family member but could not be
given an address.
I pray that one of them will see this email and contact me. I am
curious about the man whom I have formed an undeniable connection
with. He wasn't much older than me when I got my bracelet. I am
fifty years old and will keep Richard's bracelet in a prominent
place in my home. God bless Richard and his family.
Sincerely, Anne N. Smith

From: "Fasone, Vincent [GPSUS]" <VFasone@PSGUS.JNJ.COM> Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 12:24:09 -0500 To the families of Robert N. Daughtrey and Edward Reilly: The bracelets for these two heroes have been sitting on my dresser since I originally got them. Robert Daughtrey's was the earlier one when they were made out of stainless steel and Edward Reilly's was of the red aluminum type. No matter what the composition of these two bracelets, they both reminded me of these two men who sacrificed for our government and our way of life. I finally decided to see if either of these men had come home. On this site I did find that they both came home, Robert as a POW returnee and Edward's remains coming home to his final resting place in 1989. I just want to let both families know that during all those years they were missing and even now that they have found peace, I will continue to think of them of a time long ago and yet near. God Bless both families. Sincerely, Vincent Fasone iask42@verizon.net I do not want to open old wounds so if any family member is reading this and would like the bracelets sent to them, please let me know. |

From: "Donna Miller" <ladywwjd@comcast.net> Subject: Calling the MIA/POW bracelet of the 1970's a FAD Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:23:29 -0400
I am writing you with a comment I
have regarding the bracelets that were issued during the 1970's.
I have perused several websites
regarding the MIA/POW bracelets that were distributed during the
late 1970's as a show of support for the lost and missing and POW's
in southeast Asia. I was a little upset that some people
referred to the bracelets as a "fad". I came upon
one site that described in their URL 1970's MIA/POW Fad.
No way did I ever consider those
bracelets just a "Fad". A "Fad" I consider
a fashion statement. Those bracelets were never in my mind
suppose to be a "fashion statement". I also never
considered them something that was just a passing fling. I was
truly concerned for these people and hoped that they would all come
home. Some of the POW's did and I remember the very day they
walked off that plain.
So I hope people stop referring to these
bracelets as "fad".
I am supporting our troops now by
writing letters to soldiers through an organization which the
Department of Defense has approved of. I only wish that there
was something like Soldiers' Angels during the Viet Nam war. I
would have written to the POW's. I doubt if they would ever
have let them have them though.
Thank you.

Hello,
I was wondering if you could direct me into getting in touch with the
family of LCdr. Trent Richard Powers?
I was nine years old when I received his POW bracelet and still have
it. I have attached a picture my sister has recently scanned of me
wearing it (the girl with the bright flowered mini dress) and if
possible I would like the family to have the bracelet if they wish.
I did a google search and read your bio on Trent Richard Powers and
though I would start here. I read in the Boston Herald a while ago
that his
remains were returned and now I see he is resting in MN. I
travel to Wisconsin in September so I could possibly meet the family
then if they
would wish and I could return it in person? I know the promise I gave
when I sent away for this bracelet was to give it to the family when
they were
returned so I would like to honor that promise if I could.
Thanks in advance for you help,

Hello,
I just recently purchased my first
bracelet. It's interesting, I was in the reserves for eight
years and never actually knew the story behind the bracelets.
I guess I never asked and I'm sorry I didn't. I am wearing SSGT
Thomas E. Douglas (11/22/65). I chose his because
of being an enlisted E-6 which is what I was when I left the Navy.
If his family reads this, I hope that someday he will return home
and I will have the honor of returning his bracelet to you.
Please feel free to e-mail me.

Got his bracelet in 66 or 67 , picked it as it was as close to my high school graduation (May 30, 65) as I could get. For all my years of wearing it - I tried to keep in mind of all the life I had led...since graduation - and Craig was still missing. I wore it proudly for many, many years and it has sat beside my computer or in a "special spot" when not on my wrist. I am putting it back on my wrist tonight. Forty years and I am thrilled that there may be some way to reach his family. I will keep my fingers crossed. with much affection Kathy Gilroy McGuire |

Dear family member, When I was in high school I purchased a
POW bracelet . The name on the bracelet is Colonel Robert E. Rausch
. I want you to know that he is NOT FORGOTTEN. He is still in my
prayers as is his family and I have the Vietnam POW/MIA flag
in my yard. EVERY DAY I find a Veteran and thank him/her for
serving our country and for my freedom. I can be reached @
KathyARamsey@aol.com
GOD BLESS

I am interested in finding out ... how I can send his bracelet
back to his family. His name is Erich Englehard.
If you can help me at all, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Gregory Hayes

I
am forwarding a copy of an email I just sent. Thank you for this site
and its upkeep. On the 40th anniversary of my dear soldier's MIA date
that I wore on my wrist for so many years, it gave me one person to
reach out to.
Dear Col. Gurski, (I am assuming on the name.) I read your entry on a web site dated Sept. 20, 2000. At the time, you were about to dedicate a plaque to one of your town's own MIA, Col. Herman Knapp. I wore a bracelet for many a year with his name and today's date, 4-24-67. He was friends of my sister and her then husband in the Air Force. Today marks the 40th Anniversary of his "MIA date." She sent me his MIA bracelet to wear. I thank you, from one who cared, for your commemoration in honor of his service to our great country. I recently saw a picture from when I was nineteen and wearing the bracelet. I was wearing a hot pink "bikini" and noticed the bracelet right away (besides how thin I was then compared to now.) I'm taking a chance this will get through but if not, Col. Knapp, here's to you! Carole Smith Carey Leavenworth, KS. |
