THE WALL OF FACES

I had a POW bracelet with your name as well. I have long since lost it but I will never forget your name. I remember we were told to not take it off until we knew what happened to you, but of course being a teenager, I finally did take it off. I remember feeling so guilty that day, and thinking I would never forget your name. Thank you for your service. Because of brave men like you, my family and I have had a free and beautiful life.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wore your MIA bracelet are especially poignant. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home.

As your 75th birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget

HOOAH

I also have a MIA Bracelet for Capt. Robert D Beutel. I was in grade school or Jr. High when we attended our local Memorial Day celebrations at the VFW in Streator, IL. We donated, and I picked out this bracelet. I wore it for years, never taking it off. I am now 44 and recently lost my mom. Last night as I was cleaning out one of the bedroom closets I came across a box of my things that had been packed away. As I picked it up the empty box to throw away, underneath on the floor sat the bracelet! My heart stopped, and I immediately thought I should now be able to use the internet to find out more about the man I carried close to me for so long. This was the first site listed, and I am beyond delighted and heavy-hearted to see his picture and read Capt Robert Donald Beutel's history. Much love and prayers to all those the knew, loved and served with him, including Captain James Eugene Steadman. Thank you to all that Serve this nation!
