HOOAH

Dear Kennedy family,
As a 12 year old child in Pittsburgh, PA, 1971, my Mother contributed to a fund and received three POW bracelets for all of we children. I wore mine (John) for a very long time as the wear might show. We checked John's status occasionally, but he was still listed as MIA, back then.
Recently, after both of my parents passed, we were taking care of the estate, and I found mine. My Mother saved it for all of those decades. I would like his/your family to have it.
I sincerely hope this does not upset you in any way. That certainly is not my intention. I just think it would be nice if this period piece memorial of John went to his family.
I can be contacted at:

Sincerely and in peace,

Hello John W. Kennedy family, when I was a 12yr old child in Pittsburgh PA, 1971, my Mother contributed to a POW fund and received bracelets for we 3 children. I'm not sure when I took it off, because I wore it around the clock--it never came off for at least a year, as the wear will indicate. We checked the database back then, but John was just listed as MIA. Recently, both my parents passed, and while getting the estate in order, I found mine. My Mother saved it. If you would like it, please contact me at: [email protected]
I hope my mentioning this does not hurt you in any way. That certainly is not my intention. I would like to see one of John's family members have this period specific memorial of him.

Sincerely, and in peace,
Lem Mason
