THE WALL OF FACES

After all these years I still cry seeing your picture. As a young 16 year old wearing your POW/MIA bracelet I learned the truth about an ugly war, a war that cost young lives and devastated many familys. Your sacrifice is recognized and appreciated

I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have over two thousand bracelets and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display. If you are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling, child, grandchild, cousin, niece, nephew) or close friend I can order one for the Display in your name.

I am sorry I did not get to write on Christmas Day but I was very ill with stomach problems. This continued until now but is better. The pain was so bad for a couple of days that I thought I might be joining you in heaven. I know when it comes my time that God will take me when He is ready but I miss you so much I can hardly stand it. I had thought things would get better but the pain of missing you just keeps getting more. I love you.

Every Memorial Day, my bracelet is still worn in honor of Capt. Sam Y. Adair, Jr., and it always will be. During the year, the bracelet sits within my view, as it always has following my wearing it 365 days per year. Capt. Adair will never be forgotten.

Happy 81st birthday. Macy's had a wonderful fireworks show tonight celebrating you. It was especially good since they were celebrating your 50th year in heaven. Rachel, that helps me, came over and we had hamburgers and hot dogs and watermelon. She has been such a blessing to me doing so many things that I cannot do anymore. I think about you more and more and miss feeling your touch. I certainly hope when I get to heaven we can be together again. That thought is what keeps me going. I wish we had had more time together here on earth. There are so many things that I think about and I wish I had asked you.
It is comforting that all my memories of us are wonderful. Until I see you again, I love and miss you more than your could ever imagine. Again, happy birthday.
