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 and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display. If you 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.

Lt. Col Cobeil, It will be my privilege to read your name as part of THE READING OF THE NAMES ON 11/08/2022 at 5:08pm in Washington D.C., as is done every 5 years to honor and thank you (and your family) for your service and ultimate sacrifice.

I was proud to wear his bracelet and did for four years. I was heartbroken to hear he had died. I still have it after 50 years. RIP

My name is Ed Hubbard. I was a pow in North Vietnam for more than six and one half years. I lived with Lt Col Cobiel from 18 May 1968 until 29 z July 1969. I saw a message from his granddaughter in 2014 and again in 2018, seeking anyone who could tell her more about her grandfather. I wrote a book about her grandfather. If anyone knows her please ask her to contact me at “[email protected].”

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wore your MIA bracelet are touching and attest to their admiration and respect for you. May you rest in eternal peace.
