THE WALL OF FACES

After years of wear, the bracelet broke in two. I then left it at John’s name, in hopes it would be preserved. May these beloved souls Rest In Peace.

I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have over two thousand bracelets and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display. If you are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling or child) I can order one for the Display in your name.

Today marks the 56th year since you were declared MIA. I was in boot camp when you went missing. As a former Marine I still wear a POW bracelet with your name engraved. There is scarcely a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and all the other young men and women we lost in that war. Peace be with you and your family. Semper Fi, Marine

John your mother was my grandmothers sister. We still talk about you in the family to this day. Every morning I walk past a pow Mia flag in a frame with your rubbing of your name. Tomorrow I plan to give your bracelet that I wear to a marine buddy of mine. Until I can get a new one he will have it with pride.

Never forget.

Semper Fi, Marine
