THE WALL OF FACES

I did not know him but he impacted my life. As a college freshman I deeply felt the plight of our pow's and mia's. I did what little a 17 girl could, I went to meetings and bought a bracelet. The date on the bracelet matched my birth month and dad. I felt a deep connection. I am so sorry for his loved one's loss and appreciate his sacrifice.

Major Patrick Robert Curran, Served with Marine All-Weather Squadron 242 [VMA(AW)-242], Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11), 1st Marine Aircraft Wing (1st MAW), Third Marine Amphibious Force).

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.
