I still have your MIA bracelet

I recently went through a box of things I have had for years and found the MIA bracelet with your name and the day you went missing; 10 May 1968. I also looked you up online and read about the ferocious battle you and the others were involved in. All of the Americans put up one hell of a fight. God bless you, the other Americans that died and all your families. Semper Fi marine!

I’ve had your bracelet on my wrist since I found it in Washington DC in May 10th (my birthday and the day You disappeared). I still wear it and it’s been over 25 years. You’re a part of me. I hope you’re still living through me and your family ❤️
