I wore your POW bracelet for years
Every Holiday since I got Lt Col Donald Paxton’s POW bracelet I have prayed for his family and expressed gratitude to the Lord for him and his service. It was very emotional for me to find his name on the wall at the Vietnam Memorial. At that time he was still unaccounted for. I am so thankful that he is now buried at Arlington on US soil with honor.

Colonel Paxton was a Man of Great Courage
Colonel Paxton was a man of great courage. Time and again he climbed into the cockpit of a B-57 Canberra to fly missions over areas in which many men and anti-aircraft weaponry were dedicated to shooting down him and his copilot. But he did it because he was a man of honor and courage who would fulfill his duty.
