 In
the 1970's, we wore Prisoner of War (P.O.W.) bracelets bearing the
name of a POW or MIA. We did this to keep this person in our hearts and
minds, even if we did not know them personally. We proudly wore
these bracelets, and some still do, as a symbol of hope that the
P.O.W.'s and M.I.A.'s would return to their families alive.
 Today,
we also keep others in our memories... Victims of Terrorism and Military Casualties.
To keep the memory alive of those who have died at the hands of
terrorists or are 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.

Thirty-five
American citizens died in 15 international terrorist attacks in 2003.

US citizens.
Victims
of Terrorism in 2002
The
number of anti-US attacks was 77, down 65% from the previous year’s

in 2001). In 2002 thirty US citizens were killed in terrorist attacks.
The
worst terrorist attack since September 11 occurred on 12 October at

addition to the acts of September 11th, 4 additional acts of terrorism
claimed the lives of 8 Americans around the world, and mail contaminated
with spores of Bacillus anthracis was sent to the media and senators
causing 5 deaths due to inhalation Anthrax.
Victims
of Terrorism in 2000
Four
separate terrorist events claimed 21 American lives in 2000. The most
significant occurred when a bomb tore through the hull of the USS
Cole while the destroyer was refueling in the port of Aden, Yemen
killing 17 people serving in the United States Navy.*
*The
people serving on the USS Cole are listed as Victims of Terrorism
because noncombatants, that is, civilians and military personnel
who at the time of the incident are unarmed and/or not on duty engaging
the enemy, are judged as terrorist attacks victims.
