POW/MIA bracelets

I was on the internet and there was this website that has been selling bracelets like the ones that were given back during the war. They're really cool, I was wondering if anyone had one. I really want to get one.

Taylor,

Here's a website on the bracelets that may be useful:

Taylor - still wear one that I've had for over 30+ years. It's a constant reminder that POW's or those Missing In Action are always being remembered. My guy hasn't been found yet or his remains. Until then I will wear it daily as I have for years. Badly tarnished but still legeible. I'm getting up there in years now and don't know what I will do with it once I move on to bigger and better things? I'm sure my bracelet is not the only one for USAF Major Richard G. Elzinga lost in Laos in March of 1970. I'm sure his family members all have one in their possesion. I don't think my Grandkids will wear it when I'm gone so who knows what will become of it. I may have put in my cremation jar?

Taylor we each carry with us something to keep us from forgetting those we've lost or made that ultimate sacrafice. It's difficult to explain I just don't want to forget all those we lost.

Don't have a bracelett but have worn a ST. Joan medal around my neck , for the last 38 years , that was given to me right before I left for Vietnam for good luck. She has never come off my neck during that time , ever. Reminds me every day how lucky I am just to be alive , as James would say, and reminds me of the sacrifice of so many.

Thank you so much for the responses. I would love to order one when the time is right, I would love to pick a name and put his information with my uncle's.

Put it on the day I got it over 30 years ago; Capt. Park Bunker, USAF 30 Dec 70, Laos, and it will go in the hole with me unless Park comes home to rest. I haven't even taken it off for those darned metal detectors.
I've been in touch with Parks daughter a couple of times, we even swap e-mails occasionally. Park was in the Ravens and it wasn't until a movie came out about the Ravens that Uncle Sam even admitted that we had losses throughout South-east Asia. The Ravens mission was to cut off the Ho-Chi-Minh Trail which they only damaged but didn't distroy. I'll never forget.
