I wore his MIA bracelet for years

In high school I got the MIA bracelet for James Herrick and wore it for several years, even writing to his parents to get a replacement when the original one broke. Mrs. Herrick wrote a personal letter back to me with the new bracelet. She told me about what a kind man her son was. My father riveted the ends together while it was on my wrist so it didn't bend and break again, but eventually I had to have it cut off my wrist. Sadly, I don't remember what happened to the bracelet, but I've never forgotten Lt Herrick and his sacrifice. I visited the Vietnam War Memorial and looked up his name on the wall many years later. He will always be one of my heroes.

My Uncle

Jim is my Uncle. I only have one memory of him, as I was quite young. I remember sitting on his foot hanging onto his leg, begging him not to leave. He had visited us before he left for Vietnam.

If you would like to return one of his bracelets, I will gladly take it. It means so much to me that so many cared and wore his bracelet. You can send them: Julie Hedrick, 9 Hebrides Lane, Bella Vista, AR 72715.

Thank you to all who remembered him!

MIA bracelet

I have his MIA bracelet from when I was in elementary school. My grandson dug it out of a box that has my school pictures and old postcards and stuff in it. So as a family we have looked up Lt. Herrick on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site and now we will all remember him and his sacrifice and his families sacrifice. (I’m65 now.)
