Grabbed this to move along not really knowing the history of these braclets, but after searching and reading the logs I now know the history! Thanks for the lesson, and thank you to all our lost fighting for our country! Will move along shortly.

Picked this up in the Red Lighthouse (updated for mileage). I wore one of these bracelets for ten years till it almost disintegrated. I'm hoping I didn't loose it cause I was actually thinking a couple weeks ago that it would make a fitting TB too.

Having served in Vietnam in 1967 myself, I couldn't leave this TB and memorial behind. I'll see if I can get some pictures of it at some war memorials too.
Thanks for your Service Claire. I'll look for your name on the Vietnam War memorial in Washington D.C. on Veterans Day.
