9/11 Memorial bracelets

Don't know if anyone is interested, but this link was listed in my local newpaper yesterday. If you are as "seasoned" as I am, you might remember the old POW bracelets that people wore in the 70s. I had one in high school and wore it until it broke. It's the same idea, only you can get one with the name of a person who was a victim of the tragedy (one even has the name of a rescue dog). Or you can choose a generic memorial one.

That is such a great idea!! And it is great that they are donating the money!! Thanks for the link, Deb!!!!

If you still have your POW bracelet, you might be interested in this site:

I actually found my guy there and posted a tribute. Others who wore his bracelet posted as well. Once when in Washington, DC, I got to visit the actual Wall and made a rubbing of my guy's name. He is still officially MIA.

I ordered one of the memorial bracelets, too. I chose a WTC victim who lived in my home town, although for me it was hard to make a choice as to what to get. I remember back when you got the POW bracelets, they just sent you whatever.

Thanks so much for the link! That is such a great idea to wear the bracelets. I am thinking about ordering one sometime soon.
