I have worked for the traffic department in our local clerk's office for 3 yrs & have become good friends with many of our local law enforcement. One in particular is a Cpl with the Florida Highway Patrol & happens to be the father of the person on my bracelet.His son died shortly before I started working there and, being his only son, it was a really rough time for him. I have worn a Vietnam POW Bracelet since the 80's and my husband has recently shown an interest in wearing one. Sooo, I decided to order a new one for myself and pass mine on to my husband. I noticed that the Cpl had a silver one on & when I asked if he would mind if I got one with his son's name on it, he just smiled & said "not at all". Since most of the US is not personally affected by the loss of all these men & women, I felt this is the least I could do to remember all those that 'GAVE ALL'. Thanks for offering such a unique & special item. GOD BLESS THE TROOPS - HERE, THERE & BEYOND!!! THEY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!!Maria GFlorida
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.
