In the 1970's, we wore Prisoner of War (P.O.W.) bracelets. Today, we also keep others in our memories; Victims of Terrorism and Military Casualties. To keep the memory alive of those who have died at the hands of terrorists or fighting terrorism, we now also wear Memorial Bracelets. People from all over the country are wearing bracelets from Memorial Bracelets located at www.memorialbracelets.com for their own very personal reasons. Below are some of the stories that we have received.

For Firefighter Sean P. Tallon
I ordered a bracelet with the name Sean P. Tallon, a firefighter who died at the WTC. I live in Battery Park City, just across West St. from the WTC, and Sean was a member of Latter 10, who shared space in our local firehouse with Engine 10. In the short month that I lived in BPC prior to the attacks, I became acquainted with Sean on my daily walks past his firehouse to the WTC to get my subway uptown to school. I was so shocked to see his picture among the missing firemen in the NY Times that week, and I have been determined to keep his memory alive. This bracelet is thus fare the best way I can image of doing so. Thank you for doing this...it means so much to literally be able to keep Sean's memory with me all day long.
