For Tom

Tom was a good friend of my brother, at the Academy, through their
flight training stints in Texas and Tennessee. It was through my
brother that I met Tom. My original bracelet was lost in a flood in
1983. I subsequently ordered another and kept it until I recently
gave it to my brother.

This is not so much an act of faith as it is a reminder of the
sacrifice.

Thank you for your continued effort in the POW/MIA cause.

For the record, Blind Bat 01, Tom's plane, was lost in Laos.
