I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have over two thousand bracelets honoring POWs, MIAs and KIAs and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display should you have one. If you no longer have your bracelet or wish to keep yours or are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling, child, grandchild, cousin, niece, nephew, or close friend) I can order one for the Display in your name with funds donated by our Museum visitors.

Final Mission of LCDR Wilmer P. Cook

img
LCDR Wilmer P. Cook was killed in action on December 22, 1967 while leading an air strike in a Douglas A-4E from VF-155 off the USS CORAL SEA over North Vietnam. Highly decorated, he had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross three times, including one earned in August 1966 for leading a successful air attack against intense enemy missile fire. He was also awarded, posthumously, the Silver Star medal for sinking enemy patrol boats that were attacking the surface fleet. Bill’s status, POW or KIA was not known until June 1988, when the Vietnamese returned his remains to US control. [Taken from usna56.org]
