KEEP THE FAITH BY MAKING THE BOND
Many American servicemen returned home from
war in Vietnam wearing plain brass bracelets given to them by the Montagnard
hill tribesman they had fought beside in Vietnam. The "Montagnard bracelet"
stood for comradeship. The Americans wore it as a special bond with a far away
friend who was still in danger.
In the late 1960's, Americans concerned with the inhumane treatment American
prisoners of war were receiving at the hands of their Vietnamese captors used
the idea of the "Montagnard bracelet" and created the POW-MIA arm bracelet.
Today, Americans are not only continuing to "keep the faith" with missing
American servicemen and women, but also with those serving today, by
wearing arm bracelets engraved with the name of a serviceperson.
Wear a personalized arm bracelet that includes the name of a serviceperson
(you must provide the serviceperson's name) serving (or has served) in
America's War on Terrorism.
