honoring you...
Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wear/wore your MIA bracelet are moving and reflect their admiration and respect for you. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after the passage of so many years.

Never Forgotten
I, too wore your POW/MIA bracelet for many years and still have it. I have never forgotten your name or date. My father also served in Vietnam with the USAF and my sister passed on April 17 before you were lost. Someday I will make it to the wall to honor you properly, you are remembered.

Hello Grandpa John,
I am Jonathan Lee Saxman, your grandson, the son of your youngest son, Brian Saxman who you remember as Brian Held. I never had the opportunity to meet you, but, with the information that I have received from my Dad and your wife, Grandma Joan, I know you are an incredible man who sacrificed everything for me, my family, my friends, and our country. Thank you for your service. I can't wait to meet you in the presence of King Jesus. Even though I never met you, I love you.
Love,
Jonathan Lee Saxman
