POW bracelets ...

[Andy54Hawken]

So my wife and I went "antiquing" today.
At one of the shops I saw three POW / MIA bracelets for sale at $65.00 each.

I have a POW bracelet . I bought just before I entered the Army.
As much as I like antiques ... I would urge any of you who want to buy a POW bracelet to please purchase one thru The National League of POW / MIA families.
There your money will go to support them .

The above is not to slam antique shops , but it did bother me that these bracelets were sold as antiques and not to support the families of our missing soldiers.

IMHO that's like selling the eye-glasses, shoes, clothing, and gold fillings taken from holocaust victims...

Yes! ... That is about how I felt.
If "My MIA" doesn't come home / remains returned before I die ... I plan on giving my bracelet to someone who cares about him as much as I do ... to wear in his memory.

It is sad that this and stolen Valor happens but it does and it is up to us to set them straight.
