THE WALL OF FACES

Steve Capppelli and I were in first grade when our fathers were at Nellis AFB together at fighter weapons school in the F105. Ed Cappelli would go to Viet Nam first, and would be reported MIA. (My dad, Joe Grimaud, would go later as a Wild Weasel.) Steve’s father, Ed Cappelli was soon reported MIA. I prayed for him every night for years, but he never came home. It still grieves me to go to the memorial and see his name. RIP Lt. Col. Cappelli. You are missed still.

Dear Family of Charles, As I believe it’s never too late to say “I’m sorry for your loss”. Years have passed but still someone who never met Charles but wore a POW/MIA bracelet with his name during the war still remembers and has that bracelet.
If a family member wishes to have the bracelet I would love to give it to you.
Thank you for your service Maj Charles Cappelli
RIP

While cleaning out a drawer I found my bracelet and it brought back all the memories of the great sacrifice Major Charles Cappelli made for his country. And it has given me great pleasure honoring him by owning his prisoner of war bracelet. Thank you sir for your duty.

Dear Lt Col Charles Cappelli,
Thank you for your service as a Pilot. I am glad you were repatriated in 1988, and identified in 1989. WELCOME HOME. It is another autumn, and time has passed since this war. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I have found this bracelet if anyone would like to have it. I will check back soon and will get in touch with whoever wants it. If you would like it please email me at [email protected]
