| I got a chance to continue on Earth, to watch my child grow up, love my husband and to hug my friends. I need to remember those who didn't and take advantage of more moments in my life. | | | | The reason I purchased a Memorial Bracelet was because I lost 2 family members on September 11, 2001. Their laughs will never be heard again. Their smiles are gone except for what is in our minds, and their warmth will no longer be felt. It is in the bracelet that their memory will be carried. | | | | My original POW/MIA bracelet was purchased in or around 1972 when I was in high school and was also for Captain Dean P. St Pierre. Like many folks, I actively protested the Vietnam War, but I also fiercely supported our military men and women and continue to do so today. | | |

 In the 1970's, we wore Prisoner of War (P.O.W.) and Missing in Action (M.I.A.) bracelets bearing the name of a captured or lost soldier. We did this to keep this person in our hearts and minds, even if we did not know them personally. We proudly wore these POW/MIA bracelets, and some still do, as a symbol of hope that the POW's and MIA's would return home to their families.
 Today, we also keep others in our memories... Victims and Heroes of Terrorism. To keep the memory alive of those who have died innocently at the hands of terrorists or fighting terrorism, we now also wear Memorial Bracelets. By wearing a Memorial Bracelet, we show our patriotism and offer our moral and financial support to the families of these Victims and Heroes of Terrorism.
$2.00 from the sale of each bracelet is donated to charities that support the families of the heroes and victims of terrorism. To select a bracelet engraved with a name of a soldier Killed In Action,

| In the early morning of October 23, 1983, a truck turned onto an access road leading to the Marines' compound, crashed through a barbed wire fence, passed between two sentry posts, crashed through a gate and drove into the lobby of the Marine headquarters. The suicide bomber detonated his explosives, which were equivalent to 5,400 kg (12,000 pounds) of TNT. The force of the explosion collapsed the four-story cinder-block building into rubble killing 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers. | | View Names | | |

Operation Gothic Serpent was a military operation in Somalia, African conducted from August to October 1993 by U.S. special operations forces. The primary mission of the operation was to capture warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
On October 3, 1993, a task force was sent on a mission to arrest two of Aidid's lieutenants. During the mission, the two Somali militia leaders were arrested, however the convoy was quickly surrounded by Somali fighters and civilians and an exchange of fire started. During the battle, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down.
The mission is now known as the Battle of Mogadishu, or The Battle of the Black Sea, and the battle was depicted in the movie Black Hawk Down. Eighteen U.S. soldiers were killed in the battle and Delta Force Snipers SFC Randall Shughart and MSG Gary Gordon were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for their efforts to secure the helicopter crash site. | | View Names | | |
