THE WALL OF FACES

My mother started waring Lt. Col. Thompson's bracelet soon after he was MIA. She passed away and I discovered the bracelet in her box of treasure with a tag labeling it. I would love to get it to the family as a remembrance of their sacrifice but don't know how to. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wear/wore your MIA bracelet are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after the passage of so many years.

I have worn MIA bracelets since 1993. I will wear Col Thompson’s proudly until he is home. May he rest in peace and be reunited with his family in heaven one day. Thank you for your service, sir.

Col Thompson,

I’ve been wearing your name on my wrist for the past 3 years and have no intention of taking it off until you and your back seater Capt Ross come home.

I’m currently flying out of Shaw AFB and it’s an honor to “have you with me” while I’m flying.

Nickel on the grass.

Cheers,

Austin Barlow, USAF

Dear Col William Thompson, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Fighter Pilot. Your 54th anniversary is soon, and it's sad. You are still MIA. Please come home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another summer. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Be at peace.
