My Bracelet, for YOU.

In 1972, my 8th grade year,I bought my bracelet with my babysitting money. I wore it throughout high school, graduating 1976. Every Veteran's day and Memorial Day, I wear it in honor of this HERO. After reading about him, he became even more important due to where he trained in Kansas, my home, and his service in the Air Force as a pilot as several family members served in the same capacity. Today, Maj. Delbert R. Peterson, I thank you for your service and honor your sacrifice to our Country. You will live in my heart for the remaining days of my life.

Saved two crewmen

I am currently reading the book "Air War: Vietnam" by Frank Harvey. It describes the actions taken by this brave man during the battle of the A Shau Valley in 1966. He was part of an air crew shot down while supporting ground troops. When a rescue helicopter showed up but couldn't land because of enemy fire from nearby, Lt. PETERSON went after it. He took out the enemy position, allowing the rescue of the remaining three crewmen. Unfortunately, hostile fire erupted again. This great man was left behind. As of Oct 2021, you just wish there were more Delbert Peterson's around. We would be a little bit better as a society with him in it. Makes me proud to be an American. RIP.
