THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The many remembrances from those who wore your MIA bracelet are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. I am heartened you returned home after the passage of so many years though I wish it had been under very different circumstances. May you rest in eternal peace.

I wore your POW bracelet as a young teenage girl for may years hoping you would make it home safe. It wasn’t until June 2018 that I was able to find out what happened to you. I still have your bracelet and tried to find your family but was unsuccessful. You gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you!

You were never found after the crash, but you have always been in my heart. I will miss you until the day I die. Your sister in life and beyond.

I was a young girl, maybe 13years old, everyone was buying bracelets to support our troops. I remember wearing it, and feeling so proud. I am now 64 years old, and although I do not have his bracelet anymore, bm I still remember his beautiful name, R.I.P. Thank you for your service. God Bless you, and your family.

Sincerely,

Celia DeCandia

I too had Gary's bracelet. It broke at some point. I am 65 now and made it to the wall almost a month ago and found his name. One of thousands of hero's. Have never forgotten you Gary ♥️
