For a Fellow Marie Who Died on My Birthday

I received the bracelet w/ Sgt Harry T. Wilson's information today.

The selection of the specific bracelet is tied distantly to my birth, the Marine Corps, and the Vietnam War. I'm currently an officer in the Marine Corps. I was born on June 4, 1970 in Saigon, Vietnam. The bracelet ordered identifies Sgt Harry T. Wilson, USMC, listed as POW/MIA on June 4, 1970, later to be identified as KIA.

So you can see there are threads that binds us. Sgt Wilson - a fellow Marine who fought in the Vietnam War and died on the day of my birth. I joined the Corps to give back some small measure of what those like him sacrificed. For without them, I would not a US Citizen and a US Marine.

Semper Fi,

Dai
Captain/USMC

To Think About Others

We ordered the bracelets because I think its so important to remember people who have lost some important in their lives to a horrible tragedy. The bracelet I ordered for my self, the gentleman died in the WTC and his last name is very similar to my maiden name, and that really touched me. I ordered a bracelet for my husband with the name of a young man who died in Iraq on Christmas Eve. I thought it was important to think about others suffering as we celebrate how important our own family and friends are.

In Sara's Honor

I chose Sara E. Low because I have flown American Airlines a lot, and when I saw her name on the roster, I decided it would be fitting. This is just my way of remembering someone who perished. I did a little research on Sara and found out that she held 2 degrees, and yet continued to do what she loved the most.... Fly. I consider it a privilege to be able to show my support and wear this bracelet in Sara's honor.

To do Something for Someone That Gave so Much

I ordered my bracelet because a friend of mine owns one and I thought it was a lovely way to remember someone that served for our country and possibly keep their memory alive. I come from an Army family so I appreciate anything that has to do with the military, and I find this can be my part to do something right for someone that gave so much.

Thank you,

Alexandria Fire Fighter Andrew Fredericks

My mother has been an EMS supervisor for the City of Alexandria for 6 years and a paramedic for 12 years and my Dad is a retired Battalion chief for the same department. I was raised in the Fire Department and will die with the fire department (my mother and I have side-by-side boxes for our ashes in the Fire Department memorial here in the city). Andrew Fredericks was a fire fighter for our city for years and finally got the call to work in New York. Our city and country lost a great man (along with many others) that day and this is the one way I can wear his badge of courage on my sleeve (or wrist).

For the Family of a Soldier Killed in Iraq

Shortly after Sept. 11th I purchased a bracelet engraved with the name of a person who had died in one of the towers. I recently decided I wanted another bracelet with the name of a soldier who had been killed in Iraq, but I wasn't sure if such a bracelet existed. I was pleased to stumble upon your website, and even more thrilled at the quality and design of my bracelet. I plan on wearing it often, just like I do my 9/11 bracelet. Whenever I look down and notice my Memorial Bracelet on my wrist, I silently pray for this man's loved ones, whom I'm sure are still grieving him.

Thank you and God Bless!

For my Uncle Fighting in Iraq

I ordered a bracelet because my uncle was fighting over in Iraq.

Sam

For SSGT Scott Sather

The bracelet I ordered - SSGT Scott Sather - was my friend's husband. They had been married a year when he was killed. They deserved more time together in this world.

Thanks for a nice way for me to remember Scott

Susan

For Daniel Romero and Mike Spann

The reason I ordered the bracelets is to honor my friend Daniel Romero who was killed in Afghanistan. Daniel and I served in the Army together, attending Special forces training in 1991. Always a warrior Daniel was still serving with SF when he was killed.

I moved on to work for the US Gov't in another capacity and will wear the other bracelet to honor another comrade, Mike Spann, also killed in Afghanistan.

Thank you,

Ashel

As A Constant Reminder

I bought the bracelet because I am in the Armed Forces. I wore a POW bracelet everyday for many years, but I am not from the Vietnam era and that was not my war to fight. We must never forget the brave men and women who fought the Vietnam War and I think we must continue to try to account for the missing. However, for me, I needed to connect myself with the War on Terrorism.

The events of Sept 11, 2001 were life changing for many people, myself included. I wear my bracelet to remind me why I go to work everyday. It is a constant reminder of the War on Terrorism and a solemn reminder of how easily life can be taken away. I will wear my bracelet everyday, with pride, just as I wear my uniform. Thanks for your service, it is a great reminder, and a great way to honor those that died on Sept 11, 2001. We must never forget!

For My Husband and Brother

MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED BY A TAXI CAB DRIVER ON APRIL 6, 2001. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN - 18, 16, 12 - AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 11, MY BROTHER WAS KILLED AT THE TRADE CENTER. HE ALSO HAD THREE CHILDREN.

To Remember Why Aaron's Death was Not in Vain

In February 2003, my husband's National Guard unit was deployed. The spent until the end of May in Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, then travelled overseas and remained there until April 2004. November 29, 2003, the convoy my husband and 3 of our best friends (among others) were travelling in was ambushed. The two youngest of the four friends were riding together and their truck was hit. Aaron was killed, he was 22, Joe was injured. I purchased these bracelets in memory of Aaron and so that we will always remember the events that led to this war and will always remember why Aaron's death was not in vain.

To Show Others That I Will Never Forget

Having been in the Fire/EMS field for nearly 8 years now, I wanted to find to show others I have not, and will not forget what happed on 09/11/01. I am also a Medic in the Air Force, so 09/11 had that extra special meaning to me. Being a Medic, I was able to help with the victims of the Pentagon attack, trying to help provide whatever closure I could for their families. Knowing that 343 Firefighters and 72 Police officers were killed on that Tragic day, my bracelet reminds me, and everyone else, that I Truly, Will Never Forget!!

For Robert Fazio

Robert Fazio was a cousin of a good friend of my wife and daughters when we lived in Massapequa Park NY. I had a bracelet with the name of a member of FDNY who was a good friend of a former coworker but I lost it so decided to get another

In Memory of Sara Low

I am a flight attendant and I wanted to have this bracelet to remember what happened to all those who lost their lives on 9/11. I chose crew member Sara Low because she and I are both from Arkansas. Although I did not know her personally, I do know a close friend of hers. I want her family and friends to know that she is missed by many and will never be forgotten. I will wear this bracelet in Sara's memory every time I fly.

For Sgt. Michael Curtin

I am an active duty Airman in the United States Air Force stationed at Keesler Air Force Base
and first heard of Sgt. Michael Curtin when I was applying for Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. Sgt. Michael Curtin was an exceptional man who served his country as a Marine and later for the NYPD. I feel he and all the others who have lost their lives during this battle against terrorism must be remembered and your braclets do just that.

Naomi

For Firefighter Cherry

I choose Firefighter Cherry because he volunteered his time for Songs Of Love which gathers information from chronic and terminally ill children, about their friends, hobbies, family, pets etc. and writes a one of a kind song just for that child. Firefighter Cherry was a singer who worked with Songs of Love.

We, Dogs In Service (an organization that provides trained dog/handler teams to work with chronic and terminally ill children with their physical, occupational, speech therapists as well as Child Life specialists who help children understand and cope with their hospitalization and treatment) have worked with children that have been receipients of songs from Songs Of Love. We have seen how much the children use the tapes to help them cope with treatments, isolation etc. We also worked from September 2001 to January 2002 at Liberty State Park with some of the victim's families, friends as well as first responders.

On a personal level, I want to continue to honor those first responders, both the ones that died and the ones who tried to help. I thought the bracelet would do just that. Thank you Firefight Cherry - and everyone else who tried to help.

My Friends Brother-In-Law was at the WTC

My friend's brother-in-law, Andrew Jordan, was with the NYFD. He was killed at the WTC - responding with his company. His body was never found. He was the father of 3 children with a fourth on the way. I think many people are forgetting how we felt that day - myself included. I don't want to forget the horror and what we lost - we need to remember to be strong. I also don't want to forget the sacrifice that people made - it reminds me of what it means to be American - of our overall goodness.

Denise

To Show Support to the US Military

I love my bracelet! It came out really beautiful and I am planning on wearing it around my college campus. I chose to get one so that I could show my support for the US military, especially since many members of my family as well as many of my friends' parents are/have served in the various branches. It is also a great way for me to show military support on a liberal college campus.

Jennifer

Friends and Co-Workers in Iraq

I have many friends and co-workers who are serving in Iraq or getting ready to serve. A close friend is leaving on August 26th for a year. I work for the Sheriff's Dept. and have been very lucky that everyone who has gone over to serve has returned to us. We are proud of all of our troups and all who serve our country in all capacities, both here and abroad.

Cousin Killed on 9/11

My brother received the bracelet today. He was blown away by it. Our
cousin was killed on 9/11, and wearing the bracelet with his name on it is a
constsnt reminder of what is really important in life.

Patricia

Commissioned into the Army

I just got back from Ft. Lewis, WA, and a month of ROTC training. I will be commissioned into the Army this May, and I wanted a reminder on my wrist that my future is in hands much greater than my own. My personal message says: "What we do in life echoes in eternity- Joshua 24:15."

Nate

Proud of Husband

My husband is in the National Guard and he is set to go to Iraq later this year. He will be there for a year. I wanted to show my support for him and his unit and I think this is a very good way. Now everytime I look at my bracelet I will smile knowing my husband is fighting for our country and how proud I am of him.
