To the family of Lt. Col. Roosevelt Hestle

I received my bracelet in junior high school. Lt. Col. Roosevelt Hestle has been in my prayers ever since. A man that I never met has been a part of my life for over 52 years. I have searched his name on and off for year. I was happy when I found the article about him being found and to learn more about him. Forever grateful for his service and sacrifice. He will remain in my prayers and heart.

Remembering a hero

I bought my bracelet while I was in college and wore it everyday for many years. I looked for information periodically and finally learned the Col. Hestle was found and his family now has a measure of peace. God Bless You All.
