THE WALL OF FACES

As soon as I had learned about these bracelets a co worker and I both ordered one. I got Richard. I wore my bracelet for about 5-6 years barely taking it off. I wanted to honor him by remembering. My cousin also served in 2 tours in Vietnam. When the wall came to Toledo years ago his name wasn't on it. They had information about him and when he was seen but nothing after that. Am glad they found his remains and he can rest in peace. Thank you Richard for so proudly serving and protecting our country

We both went to Madison East High School and I also remember you as a caring life guard. I visit you at Forest Hills and thank you for your service and for sacrificing for the love of our Country. You are a Brave and Proud Marine! I hold you in my heart until we meet again.

I too have L/CPL Richard Fischer's POW/MIA Bracelet. I prayed daily for you and your family during the war. I have your bracelet on today and remember the sacrifice that you made for America and for our Freedom. Thank You for your service.

Though we have never met, i carried you in my heart for over 47 years. Late 1972 I received a bracelet with your name on it. It read L/CPL Richard Fischer... I too was a L/CPL in the Marines. I have never forgotten you. The bracelet was lost many years ago, but you've always been there. Strange how much of a connection I have with your memory caused by wearing you bracelet. The traveling wall was in Rockport TX last summer and I saw your name, I was overcome by emotion. I would serve our great nation for 8 years always with the wonder of who you were. Nite I have a glimpse. This July I will visit the wall and honor you.

I wore a bracelet with his name all through college and still have it. I prayed for him often and thought of him daily. Finding the bracelet in a memento box this week, I now plan to wear it every Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day, thinking of him as I do my father.
