Tonkin, thank-you so very much for the ping to this thread.

As a high school junior and senior, I was privileged to wear the MIA bracelet of SSGT Richard Allan Fitts from Abington, MA. The bracelet has long since disappeared in one of the 20+ moves I've endured over the last 29 years, but I have never forgotten his name.

I found the following bio at the Virtual Wall:

RICHARD ALLAN FITTS was born on February 23, 1946 and joined the Armed Forces while in ABINGTON, MA.

He served as a 12B3S in the Army, and attained the rank of SSGT/E6.

RICHARD ALLAN FITTS is listed as Missing in Action.

This means more to me than you can possibly know. I look forward to the day when I can visit the tangible wall and make a rubbing of SSGT Fitts's name.

Bowana, God Bless you for posting this.
