POW bracelet

I still have my POW bracelet for Lt Estes, Jr. I wore it all through the Viet Nam war and have kept it in my jewelry box over 50 years. My sister also has hers and found her soldier who was lucky enough to make it back. I had hoped the same for Walter.

Pow bracelet.

I wore Walters POW bracelet when I was a teen. I even received a letter from his mother. Just a shame what happened to our young men.

still thinking about you

My Dad and Walter were friends. I remember him and other Sailors at my house. He stood out as adorable among all of them.

Walter "Sonny" Estes, Jr

Sonny was a playmate of mine. Our parents were close friends and spent many days
together. With his sister, Barbara, and some other neighbors, we walked along the Grand River (when we were told DO NOT GO THERE. I still have his bracelet, I'm 83 years old now and always prayed he would come back someday. Thank you for your service. See you in heaven.
