Dear Captain Clem,
You don't know me, but i wore your name on my wrist for years. My father was in the service and maybe only because of that I wore an MIA bracelet that bore your name. I don't remember when or why I stopped wearing it, and I'm not sure what happened to it.. typical of teenagers I put it somewhere and now that I'm an adult, I haven't the foggiest notion what became of it. While I forgot where the bracelet is I never forgot your name. I learned earlier this year that your name is on the wall, I hope it brings you peace to know that someone remembers you, even if it is someone you never knew. One day soon I will replace your bracelt, and this time, I promise, I'll never forget where it is. Just like I'll never forget your name.
