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 PO2 Brian K. Joplin
I ordered a Memorial Bracelet in the name of PO2 Brian K. Joplin. I never knew Brian. His name was selected semi-randomly. I knew I wanted someone who had been in the Navy and was from Oklahoma. I noticed that the date he died was the same date as my son's birthday (October 4). Imagine my surprise when I checked and saw his first name was Brian, which is also my son's name. It is my great honor to wear this bracelet in his memory. I will tell anyone and everyone about Brian and how he died in Afghanistan and let them know how they, too, can show their support. Thanks for the opportunity.
