My name is Tabbi McKinney and I ordered a bracelet from you guys a while back. The name on my bracelet is PFC Benjamin T. Zieske. He died on my daughter's 2nd birthday (May 3, 2006) while serving in Iraq with my husband. They were a part of OIF 4 with 1/327 IN BN 101 ABN DIV. Since the day I got the bracelet it has never left my wrist. Worn with respect and sincerity it reminds me of his ultimate sacrifice every d
My son, SGT Greggory Baker, joined the Army on 9/11/01. After watching the horrors that occurred that morning, he went to the Army recruiters that afternoon after class (he was in his freshman year of college) and enlisted. He left for basic training on Jan 16th, 2002 then AIT followed for his MOS (job) in military intel. His first assignment was with the 259th Military Intel Battalion at Ft Shafter, Hawaii. That unit deployed in September 2005 to Camp Slayer, Baghdad, Iraq for 12 months....
Hello my name is David Dustin Henry. I am a Staff Sergeant in the USAF. I received one of your Hero Bracelets from my Mom for Christmas. I wear the bracket now in honor of my fall-in aircrew. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, I launched my aircraft 88-1694 for the first time with Capt. Eric "Boots" Das and Maj. William "Salty" Watkins. I had performed major hydraulic maintenance on the aircraft the day prior. I launched the jet on that night the same way I did during the entire war but their je...
For some time now, Margery has been wearing a randomly chosen memorial HeroBracelet in the name of Phillip I. Spakosky. She has just written us to tell us her thoughts.... I did some research on Philip I. Spakosky from Brown Mills, NJ and learned that he was very interested in Law Enforcement. He unfortunately was killed by a sniper in May of 2004. I am a Veteran myself and so this was an easy decision for me to make. I wore POW bracelets during the Vietnam conflict and proudly wear Philip's ...
My husband deployed overseas and we wanted something to wear 24/7 so that he was always with us. I had spotted a HeroBracelet on a young girl at a fourth of July celebration and she was very eager to share with me on how I could place an order for some for our loved ones. I went home that evening and ordered a few to share with my family and friends. The website was incredibly easy to use and we received them in no time at all. We wore them every day he was deployed. We prayed for his safe...
My husband HeroBracelt says Spc. Jonathan C. Stehele, Texas, November 8, 2002 Here is our story: My husband Joe was stationed in Buedingen Germany in 2001, under the 1st Armor division. We lived there for 4 years. On November 8th 2002, while Joe and his unit were at training on the south-eastern side of Germany there was a fatal tank accident. One of the tanks in my husband's troop had hit a sink hole and was half way submerged in water and mud trapping the driver. My husband and the rest ...
I wear a memorial bracelet in honor of my Uncle Carl Andrew Brannen Jr., who was killed on May 9, 1945. He was a crewmember of a Navy PB4Y (Liberator) crew that was shot down on a bombing mission near Ichi Jima between Tinian and the Japanese homeland. Carl Andrew, Andy, was 19 years old. He was in the V12 pilot's training program and was anxious that the war would end before he could get into the fight, so he transferred out of that program into a PB4Y squadron that needed enlisted flight cr...
Thank you for providing this service and HeroBracelets. My brother was the one who informed me your web-site and I ordered a few for our family members in honor of our son, Marshall who serving with the US Navy Submarine Forces. I also posted your web-site on NMOL's (www.navymomsonline.net) forum so that that the members could visit your site and hopefully ordered your HeroBracelets. I have been asked many a times about my HeroBracelet and responses I received are wonderful. Again, thanks. Th...
I wear my HeroBracelet for my step-son who is serving his second tour of duty in Iraq. People often question me about it, and I am proud to tell them about SPC Sean Lieding. I wear it to remind me of Sean and all the troops who are serving in Iraq and Afganistan, and I will wear it until the day he comes home safely. Cari Lied
