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 Remind Me That My Place is With My Fellow Soldiers
I just ordered Memorial Bracelets for myself and my husband--I've been wearing another bracelet since 2005. I was WIA in Iraq in June 2005 as an Air Force K9 Handler. My medic from Iraq is now my husband. I regret every day that I was retired due to my injuries. I would give anything to be back there and will always feel that I didn't fulfill my mission. My injuries were life-threatening as I had an IED go off underneath my seat in my vehicle, but I lived. I'll never know why I did yet so many others didn't. I will always feel that my place is there with my fellow soldiers and I want to go back but I know I never will. That is why I will always wear my Memorial Bracelet.
