With Great Pride for Our Son and Our Troops

The reason I ordered a Memorial Bracelet is because I have a son serving a 1 year tour of duty in Baghdad, Iraq.  He is with the 1st Armored Division of the U.S. Army and we are very proud of him and the job he is doing.  He has many days ahead of him.  He is a very patriotic American and felt very strongly about fighting the war on terrorism.  I will wear this with great pride of our troops.

For Capt. Speicher's Sacrifice

As a former Iraqi by birth, and a U.S. Marine by choice, wearing the bracelet is a symbol of my gratitude for Capt Speicher's sacrifice.  Our prayers are with him and his family, and other POWs and their families.

For the 9/11 Heroes That Died in the PA Field

I found your website while searching for FDNY Memorial stuff. 

It was just by chance that I found your site, but I am very glad

that I did.


The reason I decided to get the bracelet that I did was because

it seems to me that everyone has forgotten about the Heroes that

died in that PA field.  The fact that they voted first before

ever doing anything was fantastic.  True democracy at it's

finest.  Anyway, I found this neat watch that had small dials on

the face of the watch that showed when the first tower was hit,

when the Pentagon was hit and when the second tower fell.  But

nothing for the Heroes of PA.  That's why I was so glad to have

found your site.

For My Aunt and Friends Lost on 9/11

I LOST MY AUNT AND SOME FRIENDS.  MY WIFE AND MY BROTHER MADE IT OUT JUST BEFORE TOWER 2 CAME DOWN.  I DID NOT KNOW IF MY WIFE AND BROTHER WERE ALIVE TILL THE NEXT DAY 6:23 AM 9-12-01.  WE MOVED TO FLORIDA DEC.01 TO START A NEW LIFE.  WE WILL NEVER FORGET OR TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED.  TWO YEARS LATER WE HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND ONE ON THE WAY.  LIFE MUST GO ON. - BRASCOLE

For FDNY Firefighter Paul Tegtmeier

On September 11, 2001, we lived in a northern suburb of NYC. We were directly affected by the attacks on the Trade Center, as one of the FDNY firefighters (Paul Tegtmeier) who died went to our church, and he was a wonderful man. Needless to say, we lived the tragedy being so close for a long time, and not just because of knowing Paul. People remember very differently in New York. 


We just moved our family to Pittsburgh late this summer. When the 2nd anniversary rolled around, we realized that people here remember very differently than those who were so close. We wanted to carry a tangible reminder for us of Paul, and to also remind those removed from the tragedy how it affected those in New York. We will never forget. God Bless America, New York, and the FDNY.

Because I Feel a Connection to Those Who Lost Family and/or Friends

I'm a captain in the US Air Force who was born and raised in Brooklyn.  I attend Brooklyn Technical HS, Borough of Manhattan Community College and had jobs around the Wall Street area.  I'm a New Yorker to the core.


For years I've seen my fellow airmen wear POW remembrance bracelets and always said one day I'd get one.  While I was searching the internet for some 9/11 information, I came across your site.  I ordered a Memorial Bracelet immediately. 

 

I had many friends that worked in the WTC and my mother was trapped on the IRT during the blast.  Thank God they all survived but I feel a connection to those who lost family and/or friends.  


I let the site randomly select a name for me; Maria Isabel Ramirez.  I plan to wear this bracelet for as long as I serve in the military.  It will stand as a reminder of why I put on my uniform every day and give my all . . .for my family, for the Air Force and for NYC.

Honoring and Never Forgetting 9/11/2001

I need not wait for the arrival of the bracelet to respond.  I think the only thing I may have changed was to have chosen a person's name to be inscribed - but who?  So many beautiful, innocent and heroic people were lost on 9/11.  On the anniversary of that fateful day, I was searching the Internet, looking at many 9/11 memorials.  It was then that I came upon your site.  I have seen many American flag symbols - yet I wanted something more.  I wanted something that would remind me, as well as others who saw the bracelet, of those lives lost. 


Wearing the bracelet is my small way of honoring - and never forgetting 9/11/2001.


Peace to You ~
