In Memory of 3 Soldiers

We ordered the bracelet in memory of 3 soldiers that died when an explosion went off in Iraq in which my husband was involved. My husband was not killed, but severely wounded when he lost his right leg in that explosion.

For the Youngest Child Who Gave Her Life For Mine

Years ago I had a POW bracelet. I saw someone with one of the new Memorial Bracelets and I found them on line. I am a childcare provider and I wanted to have one from the youngest child who gave her life for mine. I found one for my son with his Dad's first name and my last name.

We are very honored to have them. I have even had many people ask about it in the last week.

Because I Once Had A POW Bracelet

Years ago I had a POW bracelet. I saw someone with one of the new bracelets and I found them on line. I am a childcare provider and I wanted to have one from the youngest child who gave her life for mine. I found one for my son with his Dad's first name and my last name. We are very honored to have them. I have even had many people ask about it in the last week.

For My Cousin's Brother Killed on 9/11

I bought a Memorial Bracelet for my cousin, because Martin is her brother and was killed on 9/11/01. He worked as maintenance and he was in the first tower on the 91st floor. We never found his body. He was 34 years old, married with 3 children, one boy and two girls. The oldest was 7, then 5 and his son was 18 months.

The last time is saw my cousin was at a party that Sunday. When we kissed good-bye and I said see you later cuz. I never would have dreamed that would be my last good-bye to him. But anyway, it still hurts and that will never go away. He is in my heart forever.

For Those I Know In Iraq

I live near Ft. Hood, Texas so I know tons of soldiers that have been to or are in Iraq. So I wanted to get one with my friend's name who is now is serving out there, just so I could show my support. I also plan on emailing my other friend about your web site. Her son was KIA this past October.

For My Cousin Killed on 9/11

The reason I got this Memorial Bracelet because the name that's on it is my cousin. On September 11, 2001 he was in tower 1. On that day, I felt hopeless there was nothing I can do to help him or others, so this is my way of keeping his memory alive. I miss him dearly. It is still hard for me to talk about.

To Feel Like My Brother is Always With Me

I had the original bracelet that was given to family members and wore it every day. It made me feel as though my brother was with me. The bracelet broke in half and I brought it to a friend who was a jeweler. He found the web site for me and felt that this would be the best way to duplicate the bracelet. Now I have another bracelet that I can touch when I think of him.

To Bring My Brother Close To Me

To Show My Support for Active Duty Soldiers

I live near Ft. Hood, Texas so I know tons of soldiers that have been to or are in Iraq. So I wanted to get Active Duty Bracelet with my friend's name who is now is serving out there, just so I could show my support.

For SSG Wentz Shanaberger

I ordered a KIA bracelet in remembrance of Army Staff Sgt. Wentz Shanaberger who was killed in an ambush in Iraq. He was a platoon leader of a Military Police unit investigating suspicious rebels on March 24th when he was struck by enemy fire.

As a new Private, I remember Shanaberger when I first arrived to Fort Polk, La. right after Basic Training and MP school. We worked together for many years and deployed to Panama in 1999 as the last Military Police unit before the U.S. turned over control of the Panama Canal to the Panamanian's.

I left the Army just before 9-11, but Wentz continued to serve his country and sacrifice the time he could have spent with his wife and five children. I wasn't surprised to hear he was still in the Army or that he died in combat. The Sergeant loved the Army and loved the job he did in the Army. It was a real shame to lose a great soldier and trainer of soldiers.

Your bracelet will help me keep an old friends memory alive and will show others who see it that this country has the greatest military members on earth. Wentz will surely serve as a great soldier in Gods Army now . . .

To Remember All the Victims of 9/11

Having grown up in New Jersey, New York City was a second home for me and the World Trade Towers were like old friends. I live in Florida now and could not completely comprehend the horror of that day from here, but I got an eerie feeling when I went back up North to visit in 2002 and my cousin took my family and me to Ground Zero. She still lives in NJ. In the City she pointed out many things, but what stands out the most for me was looking at the insides of the store windows where everything was just frozen in time and covered in "after-dust". She told me how human fragments were still being removed from A/C and heating vents of buildings in the immediate area.

I didn't know anyone personally, so I thought it would be most appropriate to ask God to bless America and remember ALL the victims of that terrorism, from the people who were killed, to their families and friends, to the ones who have to live there and see its effects on an every-day basis. 

The love and patriotism I felt when I was in New York City that summer day in 2002 was amazing, and for all those victims - I wear this Memorial Bracelet proudly.

To Remember My Friends Jonas and Tristan Killed in Iraq

Well, I have to tell you.... I LOVE the Memorial Bracelet ... it is so beautiful. I actually ran across your site when looking for stories on my friends Jonas Panik and Tristan Aitken (who was killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom) and had to have one. And obviously the story of why I ordered the bracelet should be summed up when I said I was a friend with US Navy Lt. Jonas M. Panik. Thanks for such a beautiful bracelet and a beautiful tribute to my lost friend.

For My Boyfriend

I ordered this bracelet for my boyfriend. We lost a very close friend on 9/11. His name is Robert Cordice. He was my boyfriend's best friend. Someone had purchased a bracelet for my boyfriend right after 9/11 - which he wore day & night. He loved the bracelet, as it was a constant reminder of Rob. Importunely, he lost it and was extremely upset. I could not wait to give it to him - and I can't tell you how happy he was to receive it!

In Memory of 3 Soldiers Killed in Iraq

We ordered the Memorial Bracelet in memory of 3 soldiers that died when an explosion went off in Iraq in which my husband was involved. My husband was not killed, but severely wounded when he lost his right leg in that explosion.

For A Stranger Who Reminds Me That I Still Have Choices

I found the person whose name that is on the Memorial Bracelet completely by accident. When things were in complete chaos after the attacks, the first person who appeared (when I was trying to find information about what was going on) also happened to be my same age, height and weight (though everything else about us was about 180 deg different). It stuck with me that we each shared the same physical space in the world and had the same amount of time to do our living, but suddenly they were just gone.

Anyway, I'm still here. It seemed at the time that there wasn't a lot I could do, (besides living my life like I did before and being there for the people that count on me) but that turned out not to be true. I found ways that I could. Little things can and do have profound effects on people you might never meet, as they did that day. Perhaps that is why this person came to my attention when they did. This is a stranger, but this is the stranger who reminds me to care about the things I do and do them to the best of my ability. The name and the face have been with me for a while. The bracelet is just a reminder that I have choices, and I choose, in my way, to protect others from being robbed of their choices.

For My Daughter

My 11-year-old daughter had a classmate/friend, Zoe, and her family that was aboard the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. She has learned to think of Zoe as her guardian angel and now can remember the fun times that they had in Brownies & school together. My daughter graduated from the 6th grade on Friday, as Zoe would have, and that is the day that I received the bracelet, so I gave it to my daughter as part of her graduation gifts.

For My Fallen Brothers

I ordered my bracelet because I have been a firefighter/EMT for 5 years now and would like to remember my fallen brothers.

For My Second Home

Having grown up in New Jersey, New York City was a second home for me and the World Trade Towers were like old friends. I live in Florida now and could not completely comprehend the horror of that day from here, but I got an eerie feeling when I went back up North to visit in 2002 and my cousin took my family and me to Ground Zero. She still lives in NJ. In the City she pointed out many things, but what stands out the most for me was looking at the insides of the store windows where everything was just frozen in time and covered in "after-dust". She told me how human fragments were still being removed from A/C and heating vents of buildings in the immediate area.

For A Female Officer Lost 9-11-01

I ordered this bracelet because Officer Moira Smith was the only female police officer killed on September 11th. Being a female patrol officer with the Lafayette City Police Department in Lafayette, Louisiana, I wanted to pay my respects to her bravery. I read somewhere that the last time anyone saw her, she was in the lobby of one of the towers helping terrified people to get out, while she stayed inside and did not succumb to the terror that she, herself was feeling. For that, she deserves to never be forgotten. I wear her name on my left wrist, with pride.

As A Symbol Of My Generation's Suffering

I had ordered this bracelet for her because I bought one a year or so ago and when I went to visit, she saw it and really liked it. When I ordered the bracelet for myself it symbolizes my generation's suffering. The POW bracelets represent the Vietnam era while the 9/11 bracelets represent a day that I will never forget.

To Replace My Fiance's

They definitely are sturdier than the last bracelets we had. My fiancé lost his in an airport. So I went on line and researched other places to get them. His best friend Bobby Coll, was working for Eurobrokers on 9/11 in Tower 2. He and his wife's cousin, Brett Bailey, died trying to save another lady. We miss him everyday. His 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter will be in our wedding in October.

For A Flight 93 Passenger

I ordered a bracelet with Nicole Miller's name on it because I knew her personally from my teenage years. We worked together at the same shoe store for about a year and we became decent friends. I didn't know that Nicole was a Flight 93 passenger until last August when I was home on leave. I noticed a small memorial at her former workplace; Chili's and it took a minute for it to sink in. I've been in the military since July of 1998 and I am a Security Force member in the Air Force. When 9/11 happened, I was hurt/angry like everyone else in the world and being in the military made a little more sense to me. Until that day, I went about my business and than I saw her memorial. 9/11 hit a little more close to home and I've now dedicated the rest of my military career to Nicole Miller's memory. Even though I hadn't seen Nicole since 1998, she was one of those people that you never forgot.
