THE WALL OF FACES

I have had the bracelet with your name on it since 1971. I even found your wife and she wrote me a lovely letter. I do wear my bracelet still and will remember you in my prayers. Your a hero.

Its hard to believe that 53 years have passed and my lingering questions have finally be answered. I honor you, Major Patrick R. Curran, for your service to our Country. I have had your MIA bracelet since you were lost and, have continued to honor your life’s sacrifice. The Era of the Vietnam War affected me and all my friends. I’m honored to know that you are finally home and resting in peace at Arlington. I will continue to wear this bracelet as a reminder that my freedom will never be taken for granted. “Thank you, Sir for your service.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Robin Seidel-Gibson is touching. I am heartened you were finally returned home after the passage of so many years.

When I was in middle school I wore a Vietnam POW*MIA bracelet with 1 Lt. Patrick Curran’s name on it and his MIA date of 9-29-69. I never took it off until I graduated college, more than 9 years later. By that time it was so thin it was cutting my arm. During that period I wrote a letter to his wife and received a lovely letter back. I was heartbroken to learn 1Lt. Curran had a little girl that probably wasn’t ever going to see her father. His wife missed him so much and was so frightened of what might have happened to him. But she kept hoping and believing he’d come home. I felt as long as I wore my bracelet, he was safe.
I still have my bracelet. I have a rubbing of his name from The Wall as well. As a coincidence, I am now married to a Vietnam vet, who despite being shot done, did come home. I feel lucky to have loved 2 VV in my lifetime!!!
May Major Patrick Curran rest in eternal peace.

My grandfather has recently passed of which going through his jewelry I found a bracelet that he wore for the longest time with the name of Maj. Patrick Curran, with the feeling of confusion I went to look him up and found out so much I'm glad to know you've been found and laid to rest but just as my grandfather honored you I will continue to do it for him may you rest in peace.
