For His Boot Camp Roommate

My son asked for a bracelet memorializing his friend,
after seeing others wearing them.  He just got back
from Iraq and asked for one for Christmas.  I told him
I'd try to find out how to get one, so I Googled
something (can't remember what words I used) and came
to your site.  

His friend was his roommate in Marine Boot Camp and
SOI.  He was killed in Iraq less than a year after he
became a Marine.  My son has such great memories of
staying up most of the night talking to his buddies in
the bunks next to his.  One of the buddies was Anthony
Butterfield, whose bracelet he'll be wearing soon.

Thank you!
