THE WALL OF FACES

Always remembered, God Bless

As a teenager, I wore the bracelet of Captain Clem. I saved it and wear it every Veteran's Day to honor him and so he may not be forgotten.

Dear Captain Thomas Clem,
Thank you for your service s a VMA (AW) I Fixed Wing Pilot. You are still MIA.
PLEASE COME HOME.
December has begun, along with all the preparations. It is so 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 strength, courage and faithfulness. Be at peace with the angels.

I was also a US Marine but almost 30 years after he went MIA. I can't help but think, I must be somehow related. If only remotely. Thank you for your service and semper fi Marine.

I have worn Capt Thomas Clem's bracelet for 40 years, always praying for his eventual return home. I have it displayed in my home along with the service flags of The Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and our flag of The United States of America. Eternal be his memory and God bless him for his ultimate sacrifice to our country. My dad and my 5 brothers served our country proudly in the armed forces and a brother in law served 2 tours in Vietnam.
