Update on my POW bracelet and where it will be headed..

I just heard back from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and they want to use the bracelet I've got in their traveling exhibition.  I am so happy to know it will be taken care of and respected- will get it off to them next week...

@KingstonsMom, I am honestly choked up and think I am at loss of words ( know that's hard to believe).  What an honor, for this bracelet, as you said, to be seen by people around the country.  I never imagined, just thought they'd say send it on, nothing like this.  

 

Truly glad I emailed them.. and thank you!  Heart

I would feel the same way!

 

And there's also the possibility that the family of the one on your bracelet could see it too!

 

How heartwarming is that!Heart

@KingstonsMom, I just broke the news to my husband, who was and will always be a Marine.  He said, "I have goosebumps on my arms."  He also said as you did, there's a possibility that the family could see it.  It's all I can to not cry..  It is very heartwarming, I feel very honored for them to directly tell me this and send all the paperwork..  I forgot, my correspondence is with the assistant curator..

I can't recall the name any longer or even what happened to my POW bracelet. Glad to hear that yours is included in such an event.
