I just wanted to tell you how wonderful it is that you honor your fallen comrades daily.

The man whose MIA bracelet I wore thirty years ago as a high school student was killed in a 'copter crash in Viet Nam in 1968. He wasn't the pilot, but was on a mission and was killed along with several others when the helicopter was shot down.

His name is Staff Sergeant Richard A. Fitts and some of his remains were identified and finally returned to his parents in 1989. I pray for him and his family every day.

Thanks dansangel. I think it's the least I could do since they gave all.
