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.

Because When We Are Complacent We Are Vulnerable
My son, husband and I have ordered bracelets in honor of our son, brother, Ryan S. who was killed in Iraq 6/06. Though it has been over a year, sometimes the reality still has not sunk in. Not sure if it ever will. The bracelet will be worn to remind others that there is a very high price that is being paid to keep the war in Iraq because just as soon as we let down our guard, it will be brought home to us in the States. We didn't learn from the first bombing in NYC so the World Trade Center was used to show our vulnerability. When we are complacent, we are vulnerable.
