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.

In Memory of Raphael Killed in Iraq
The Memorial Bracelet I ordered is of someone I watched grow from a 2 year old until he turned 15 then my ex and I split in 1994 and that was the last time I saw him and just lost contact with the family. How I heard that he was killed in Iraq was during our lunch break at work, and his name flashed across the screen. I immediately called the family and sent them my heartfelt condolensences. I often think about Raphael I wish I had the chance to see him grow into the fine man he was, he has left behind 3 children his last he never got to meet because he was killed 2 days before he was to go home. I have been wearing this bracelet everyday since I received it so I can feel close to him as I was when he was alive. God bless you Raphael, someday we'll meet again in the arms of an angel.
