POW/MIA BRACELET DISPLAY - PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM

img
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:

Wonderful young man

I was a sophomore and Donald Matochoa was a freshman in companyB2 at Texas A&M. He was a wonderful young man I had no idea he was Missing In Action. I cannot imagine the pain and agony his family and friends have gone through. Welcome Home.

Hey Uncle Donald

It’s me, James. My dad is your nephew, and he told me about you. Thank you for serving in the Corps, and you’ve inspired me to join. Semper Fi, and fly high recon.

Remember to save for them a place inside of you, and save one backward glance when you are leaving, for the places they can no longer go...

Thank You

Dear Lt Donald Matocha, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Officer. I researched you on the 16th anniversary of your identification. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Independence Day just passed. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
