Christy Barton bartonc@ocisd.net I wear his POW/MIA bracelet 501 E. Main St Ore City, Tx 75683 USA You've been with me for 12 years! Being a prior Marine I know the sacrifice that servicememebers make everyday. Ben made the greatest sacrifice by serving our country in Vietnam. I'm honored to wear his name everyday on my wrist. I've been blessed to get to know his sister for the past couple of years so this bracelet is now priceless. I'm looking forward to meeting Ben in Heaven. I feel safe knowing that a hero like Benjamin Thompson is guarding the Streets of Gold. Wearing your name with Pride, Christy Barton (fomer USMC - Sgt) 10/24/2004 Friday, October 24, 2003 |
