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:

Herold left Metuchen and entered the US Air Force on October 21, 1967, where he attained the rank of Captain (CAPT).
Herold's records state that he was killed in captivity, though he is officially listed as killed in action on September 2, 1972. He was survived by his ex-wife, Lois.
Herold received the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with 10 Clusters and the Purple Heart.
There is a memorial at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, dedicated to the graduates who were killed or missing in action from the Vietnam War. Herold's name is listed among those killed in action.
