HOOAH

Thank you for your service yo our country so long ago sir. How especially tragic you were lost on your birthday.

I started wearing MIA bracelets continuously since about 1980, and the red aluminum ones would last 6-8 years before they wore so thin they'd break. I was wearing Richard's for most of my time on active duty in the late 1980s and in fact it actually broke off my wrist during a night patrol and I heard the "clink" of the two pieces hitting each other on the ground and was able to feel around and find the two pieces in total darkness. Still have them today.
