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.

To Help People Remember Soldiers Need Our Support
I was very excited when I found this Memorial Bracelet because I am one of those people who had a POW bracelet. I do still have it; however, it cracked because I wore it so much. Although I don't have anyone in active duty, my duty, as an American is to help people remember there are so many soldiers still there that need our support. If I were rich I would be sending many, many items to them. Right now, I have one adopted soldier (cannot reveal name) and I am on the Presidential Prayer Team and pray for 28 specific soldiers from that sight. I am also a teacher and have had a patriotic wall since 9/11. My class has written letters to the military, drawn pictures and we did a small musical tribute to some local soldiers. I have ordered yellow ribbon magnets for my truck and extras to put on my classroom door. So in my small ways, this is how I pay tribute to the soldiers. The bracelet will help me do that, too.
