THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your comments. I am the daughter of John K Hardy,Jr. I do not remember him.

Thank you for your service to our country. I have your bracelet and have visited the memorial wall and found your name. I think of you and your family often especially on Veterans Day and still wear the bracelet in remembrance of you. You will always be remembered.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after the passage of so many years.

As a 13 year old in 1972, my junior high school had a pow bracelet drive. I purchased Captain John Hardy. At the time, I really didn't know the impact that this bracelet would have on my decades later. When the memorial wall came up, I search for John Hardy. I was deeply moved to learn that Captain John Hardy and I share the same birthday- January 13th. I still have the bracelet! I will always honor him and his fellow veterans. And lastly, my father was in the Air Force in the Korean War!! Please know that I deeply respect the sacrifice your family made. I have attached a photo of the bracelet.

Never forget.
