THE WALL OF FACES

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.

COL William James Thompson has a stone in his memory in Memorial Section 1 of the Arlington National Cemetery.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Have had your bracelet for at least 50 years. Praying you make it home to your family so you all can have some peace. God Bless you and your family Sir.

I just found this bracelet. I’ve had it since I was 5.
