THE WALL OF FACES

I wore your bracelet for years, truly believing that wearing it, and faithfully praying for you, would bring you home safely!

I received Colonel Whitford's MIA bracelet my junior year in high school. It made a huge impact on me emotionally at the time. Over the years I've checked online for any updates. I keep it in my "keepsakes" jewelry box and get it out from time to time to remember him, and honor him. What a horrible, horrible war we put those men through and then shunned them and left them hanging out to dry without regret. I'd like to tell his family that he matters to me and my family, and that I'm so very sorry for their loss. I will honor him, his sacrificial service, and his life until my death. As a former military wife I honor his family and the sacrifices they made for our country. Thank you, Colonel, and family, for your service.

On the remembrance of your 92nd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget

My mother (1928-1989) wore a bracelet with Col Whitford's name. I recently found it among her belongings as I was preparing for a move.
