Great man of VF-84
I was a plane captain with VF-84 during VF-84's Vietnam tour in 1965. The pilot's and RIO's of VF-84 were superb men. Cdr. Olmstead will always be missed. I've seen his RIO, Porter Halyburton who spent 7 1/2 years as a POW.

Remembering A Great American and OKIE
I have worn the bracelet since I got it in late 1970 to honor this man. After 20 years in the Air Force and 25 years Civil Service I still wear it. I will wear it when I have passed to meet him in the next life. God bless his family.

Every Christmas
I put my Stanley Olmstead MIA bracelet on the Christmas tree in honor of him, of my friend Richard D. B. Shepherd who stepped on a land mine in the Iron Triangle, of the many who accepted service no matter what they knew of the politics, including some who knew if they did not serve, some poor American would be put in their place... and for all the Vietnamese caught up on either side of the post colonial/cold war.

I met Stanley Olmsteads when I was senior in high school in Marshall Ok
I lived with and worked for Cdr Olmteads family while I finished high school. They were a wonderful family. I met his sister Carolyn and brother Kieth also. I met Stanley while he was home on leave before leaving for Vietnam. My heart was broken for his family when I got the news he was MIA

Honored
Last year, I felt compelled to find out more about Stanley Olmsted and even wrote a blog post in his honor. http://myoldcountryhouse.com/memorial-day-honoring-those-who-served-and-remembering-my-m-i-a/
It is touching to read poems and letters left by family and to know that others wore bracelets bearing his name. Thank you Stanley Olmsted for your service and for your life. It is an honor to have worn your name.
