THE WALL OF FACES

I wore your bracelet from 1982 until 1998 when it finally fell in half! Although it broke your memory will never be broken, until Valhalla brother...

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

I carried your MIA bracelet for over 20 years until it fell apart, rest in peace brother.......

MAJ Richard Duane Appelhans is remembered with a stone at the Hillside Cemetery in Dodson, MT. He is also remembered at the Honolulu Memorial, Courts of the Missing.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

In 1993 or 1994 I asked an MIA organization for a POW flag and a bracelet of any MIA from Montana, my wife's home state. I received a bracelet of LTC Richard D. Appelhans and have worn it almost every day since. 1993-1996 I served as Chaplain/Leadership Development Officer at Ft. Huachuca and met CPT Richard D. Appelhans in a class - son of a cousin of the original! In 2008 I preached on Jn.15.13 using the original Richard's service as an example. A woman in the congregation lived in Dodson - I spoke to either Richard's mother or sister a couple of days later. In 2016, teaching in High School, I had the 2nd Richard's daughter in class! A small world. My prayer is that Richard D. Appelhans is found and brought home for peace! God bless them all!
