THE WALL OF FACES

I have had 1LT Steven Armitstead MIA bracelet for years. I don't remember when I got it or even how. But I have worn it for years and even searched his name for years and never found a thing about him. I am 74 years old and saw his bracelet above my computer tonight where it has been for years too. So I thought I would check and see if anything came up with his name tonight 10/08/2021 and I finally found a lot of information on him. I am glad that now, I know about the Man I have admired for years and didn't know anything about him. A picture and his military information, also a wedding picture of him and his wife. She wasn't alone all these years missing her husband either. I found out tonight there are a lot of us missing him and not even knowing him. And thanking him for his Service and his sacrifice too. Now I hope someday that he will be found and he will no long be Missing In Action and will be placed where he belongs. I will never forget you now Caption Steven Armistead. Patricia (Reece) Rains.

On the remembrance of your 77th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget

Semper Fi, Marine

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir.

Still have my Pow/MIA bracelet. I was only 7 years old in 3/17/68. I wore it for a long time, never took it off, even when I bathed. Later when I was was married I had a son, on 3/17. I thought you of Steven Armistead. Rest In Peace
