THE WALL OF FACES

I have been wearing this hero’s POW/MIA bracelet since I was 13. My friend’s Dad was in Vietnam and explained the importance. I have always been to scared to check up on him, because I needed to pretend he was found alive and lived a long healthy life. Only today I checked, and found the his remains were found and that he finally got home. My heart aches for our Vietnam Vets. All true heroes.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace COL. Frederick, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I still have your bracelet and remember your ultimate sacrifice. I served, but in cold war peace time. It was my privilege to wear the bracelet for many years. I wished for a better ending to your story. You will never be forgotten.

I wore his bracelet for many years after getting it in middle school. I grew up in Ohio, but wore it everyday in college in Florida. I keep it in my current jewelry box so I can see it. I know the loss of a loved one never heals; but hope there is comfort in knowing we all care.

I was going through an old cigar box of memories when I came across a bracelet with Lt. Col. Peter Fredrick's name on it. He was missing on 3-15-1967. These bracelets were given out in the 70's to keep MIA's in our thoughts and prayers. I wore it for 2 years 1970-1972.
