POW/MIA BRACELET DISPLAY - PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM
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 more than two thousand bracelets honoring POWs, MIAs and KIAs and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display should you have one. If you no longer have your bracelet or wish to keep yours or 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 with funds donated by our Museum visitors. Here is a link to more info:

Thank you for you 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.

I have thought of you every day, Specialist 5 Richard Hentz, since May 2015 when I put on my POW/MIA bracelet. It was 2015 viewing the Vietnam War Memorial that I realized you and I were born on the same day, 7 November 47 in Oshkosh, probably same hospital. Mercy Hospital for me. Late 1971 was when I was scheduled for tour to Vietnam, but the troop draw down in place at that time allowed me to stay in Germany for the remainder of my US ARMY commitment. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Hopefully you will be "welcomed home" to the USA someday.
