THE WALL OF FACES

I started wearing your bracket in 1993. I picked yours because I was a SSG the same as SSG Bush. I am on my fourth bracelet as some of the broke, but I have always worn your in remembrance of your sacrifice. I wear it everyday and will until I can no more. I also want to say thank you for serving in Vietnam.
