POW... Wear them till they turn green!

From the Vietnam POW exhibit at the Naval Aviation Museum in

Pensacola Florida.

Very clear picture, light from flash even makes them sparkle. Could almost read some of them.

Makes me feel a bit sad even though I know they are where they belong...back home and off their wrists.

My mom wore one for my godfather who went down in 1967 and was finally declared dead I believed 1976(ish) and I remember she NEVER took it off. when I saw all of these in the case all shined up (and this is only a few of a whole big case of them as I have a picture of Andrew taking a picture of them in the HIM folder) you just have a SIGH momment. The whole little area in the NAVY AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM dedicated to the Vietnam War is very moving. But, since my dad flew F4's over there, and I remember small bits of the war and the sadness of family's and the men not coming back it pulls at me going in there. Yes.... I always tear up! Just arriving back from a tour in Japan didn't help this time. Thanks for apreciating it! ~ micki
