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.

I Appreciate What Our Brothers Do For America Overseas
I purchased the bracelet because being a new member in the armed services, I have really grown to appreciate what our brothers do for America overseas. I am currently a midshipman attending the United States Naval Academy. I hold a great sentimental value in the bracelet. It stands for much more than just a name engraved on metal. Although I still have time before I serve as an officer, I read about our troops everyday. It hits us close to home now that casualties have recently exceeded 1200 in Fallujah. So when I look at it, I am reminded of what I am working for. That is to be the best leader I can. Someday I will lead men like Lance Corporal Nice into combat. Beautiful work! Thank you.
