For my son in Afghanistan

My son is currently in Afghanistan as part of Operation Eduring Freedom. As family members are military hero's are always in our hearts and on our minds. Having the bracelet helps me feel more connected to my son and allows me to tell his story to everyone I come in contact with. The US military does such a wonderful job of keeping American's safe and sheltered, that we have started to take for granted the sacrifices made every minute of every day by those who keep us safe. Let us never forget and let us always pay homage to those who defend our freedom and the wonderful families who sacrifice on our behalf. God Bless them.

For SSG James A. Champion

I was visiting DC for a week with a friend in April of 1999. We went to the Lincoln Memorial one night and visited the souvenir stands manned by Viet Nam vets on the road out front. I was drawn to the MIA bracelets and, being a 2/75 vet myself, began looking through the Army bracelets for a fellow Ranger, finally coming across James A Champion. When I got home I did some more research on SSG Champion and during a subsequent trip to DC, obtained a "rubbing" of his name from the wall. I wore my bracelet every single day for 13 years; on my wedding day, on 9/11, on the day I reenlisted after my 10 year break in service, on the day my daughter was born, during my tour of Iraq/OIF III, and on the day I brought my daughter and my two stepdaughters to The Wall to show them SSG Champion's name last April, 2011. I was still wearing my bracelet here in Afghanistan until I lost it during a combat patrol in Chaparhar last Thursday, 3 May. I cannot believe that I have lost something that has been a part of so many important events in my life and feel as though I have failed SSG Champion, leaving him on the battlefield yet again. I'm grateful that I found the www.MemorialBracelets.com website and anxiously await my replacement bracelet. I feel naked without it and, although I will miss my old one, I look forward to wearing the new bracelet during many more important events in my life.

For Pvt. Danny O'Laughlin

The unsung heroes of the Vietnam War are from my generation. I still see the vestiges of the war on the faces of some of the homeless people I encounter in my daily routines. As I look forward to my 65th birthday next month, I bought myself a birthday present - a Memorial Bracelet in honor of a friend who was killed in 1967. Wish that he could have lived the full life that I have enjoyed. Here's to you Marine Private Danny O'Laughlin!

For Pfc Anthony J. Petter

I cant believe I found the www.MemorialBracelets.com website.  I started wearing PFC Pepper when I was at 1/10 back in 85 but misplaced him in the 90's. I still look for him at times and can not wait to carry him once more until he comes home. Thank you
