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.

For the POW bracelet I wore for 1st LTD Wm. Flnn
A friend of mine that I haven't seen in years sent me some pictures she had found of us when we were younger. I attached the file that she sent me. I just turned 50 a few weeks back so you know the pictures are old! The top picture is me when I was about 15 so that's about 35 years ago. I noticed that I had my POW bracelet on. I remembered clearly what the bracelet had said on it...1st LTD Wm. Finn 12/24/71. It was Christmas Eve when he went missing..how tragic. I had worn that for about 10 years and was never able to find out what happened to him. I still have that bracelet so I got it out of my jewelry box and decided to search the Internet to see if I could find out anything about him. From what I found out, it appears that he was never located and from some accounts, considered deceased. That made me very sad. When I found your web site, I decided to purchase another bracelet in his name so that the proceeds from the sale could help his family or others in need. While it is a small gesture, every little bit helps.
