POW/MIA BRACELET DISPLAY - PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM

I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have over two thousand bracelets honoring POWs, MIAs and KIAs and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display should you have one. If you no longer have your bracelet or wish to keep yours or are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling, child, grandchild, cousin, niece, nephew, or close friend) I can order one for the Display in your name with funds donated by our Museum visitors.

Thank You

I wore the name Stephen
Chivera around my wrist for seventeen years. Till the letters became too worn to read. Arthritis prevented me from continuing to wear the name upon my wrist. Instead I continue to wear the name etched on my heart. Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice.
