POW Bracelet

I’m 65 years old now and have just found your stories end. When I was a teenager I got your name on a POW bracelet. I looked for you on the traveling wall and found you on panel 38w line 23. Today I have googled you and have finally seen your face and heard your story. I have thought of you often and pray that you rest in peace.
