I admire your 'standing up to' your peers at college, where there was a super-charged atmosphere. That couldn't have been easy.<br /><br />It has to be some sort of 'relief' for the families to know the circumstances. My heart goes out to them.Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857704024517273961.post-16098517687449674652012-07-10T13:39:50.158-05:002012-07-10T13:39:50.158-05:00How amazing that you were able to find out about t...How amazing that you were able to find out about that name on your bracelet. I, too, had one of those bracelets, but I have no idea what happened to it. They were popular to wear at the school I went to. I admire your support during that time.<br /><br />Do you have any thoughts about contacting his family regarding your bracelet?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179656803101670399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857704024517273961.post-8554986894983179322012-07-10T12:20:51.873-05:002012-07-10T12:20:51.873-05:00Although of course you could not have known about ...Although of course you could not have known about Capt Eliers family all those years ago.

I think it was very brave of you to support the people that had to fight in the war, and wonderful in a sad way that you finally know what happened to that one MIA that you chose to honor so long ago.
