Thank you for your service and sacrifice

I was just a young girl of 13 when I got the POW/MIA bracelet with Capt. Arthur G. Ecklund’s name on it. I did not understand much about the war then, but I wanted to support the brave men and women who were giving so much. I wore his bracelet faithfully for years, all while the Vietnam War raged on and all through my high school years until the War was over. I often thought about Artie, and wondered what had happened to him. Thanks to the internet so many years later, I was able to find out, but this was years after both his parents had passed away. Now I wish to tell his remaining family that we appreciate his service and great sacrifice so very much. Although I never met Major Arthur G. Ecklund, I remember him to this day, and he will always have a special place in my heart.

Found P.O.W Bracelet

My grandmother passed and I inherited her stuff. I was going through her jewelry and came across his P.O.W bracelet. I thought we might have been related because my last name is Eklund, but I found out Arthur actually worked with my grandmother and grandfather at Motorla in Phoenix, AZ. I know he must have had a good friendship with my grandmother to have his bracelet. Just did a deep dive and learned his story and I hope his family was able to find a little peace.

I finally found "Capt. Arthur Ecklund" and my heart still hurts......

I have worn, and later kept the bracelet in my jewelry box where it will stay. I tried so many years to find him. I just did, and it brings tears to my eyes. My heart aches for so many of our finest who lost their lives. Many, so many friends and I can't smile right now, but I pray that Major Ecklund is resting in a wonderful place. He gave it all for us. Thank you, Major. With love, Barbara Jackson Kight

Remembering you today. I wore your name on my POW MIA bracelet. A random circumstance but I’ve always remembered you. I also went to see you on the Wall.
