I have worn my bracelet for Captain John W. Consolvo USMC who was shot down in is F-4 on 5-5-72 since 1972. It has never left my wrist, and never will since he has not been found or declared dead. It will stay there till I die, and then be buried with me. He was a friend of mine.

Semper Fi.

Welcome HOME brother. Rest in peace Lt. Rittichier. God Bless the Rittichier family. May He give them peace and comfort.

I wish there could be an ending like this for all the KIA's, whose bodies aren't home yet. I wish we could FIND all the MIA's and POW's ALIVE and bring them home of SOUND MIND and BODY to their loved ones and friends. Dear God how I wish that.

That this woman wore his braclet all these years is something else.

Now she is serving. God Bless her and Bless her service to our Nation.

Please offer special prayers for my friend "Popeye"..
whose son was killed there..

His name was Staff Seargent Thomas Field.

Rte 196 in Lisbon, Maine has been designated a "Memorial Highway" in his name.

I have coffee with Popeye almost everyday..and would be so honored if you would respond, so that I may print it out for him..

Thank you so much in advance..

Ms.B

Welcome Home, Brave Warrior..

Well Done..rest you in the arms of the Lord..and carry our grateful love and thanks with you..for eternity
