THE WALL OF FACES

Although I never met Benjamin, he has been in my heart since I first put his MIA Bracelet on my wrist. I feel fortunate to be able to see his image on this web site...at least I have his likeness to connect with since I missed out on knowing him personally. Someday, will will meet in person! I fly the MIA/POW flag in his memory and carry it's image on my vehicle. This Nation owes this man and his fellow pilots more than words can say for their sacrifice. This Nation is also very proud of Benjamin. I know I am. God Speed, Ben ! Dave Hiddessen, Phoenix, AZ.

I've warn a POW bracelet bearing the name Benjamin F Danielson everyday since I joined th earmy in '93, I'm now in the Air Force. Through these years This man I've never met has become part of my life. I hope and pray for the day that I can one day never wear this bracelet again...the day his family knows for sure what has happened to him.

I've been wearing Capt. Danielson's POW bracelet since April 1972. It was only in May 1993 that I finally saw a photo of him--on the cover of the Sunday Parade magazine--and just last month I learned the details of his last flight. I'd always assumed he'd probably died in the wreckage, but now that I know what really happened, I cannot get it out of my mind. Almost 30 years...how does his family deal with it? My thoughts are with them.

I was always impressed with your brains and personality. I always think of you when I think about the best and brightest of our country had to give to fighting in nam!
