I did not know Frederick Burns personally. I am very involved in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, and I wore a POW/MIA bracelet with Frederick Burns name
engraved on it from 1975 until 1995 when his remains were returned to the US for proper burial. Even though I didn't know him personally, I felt that there was somehow a connection. I found that connection in a report from the National League of Families, that stated Fred died in captivity on January 2, 1969. My daughter (first born) was born on January 2,1969. I read a news article when his family was interviewed and was saddened by their words and also elated that there was finally closure in the locating the remains of their son and brother. I wanted to send my braclet to them, but found that I could not part with it. I have it in a box with his picture and funeral notice, in a special place as though Fred were a part of my family. In my mind I know he wasn't family, but in my heart he was. The prayers and hoping that he would be found so that his family would stop worrying and suffering, finally were heard. He was sent home for a proper burial his mother said, and she was elated that she was alive to witness her son being put to rest in his home country. Now his name is on the Wall and he will always be remembered as a special Veteran, whose sacrifice will never be forgotten.
