Wearing braclet
Brewster MA 02660 USA
I have been wearing Col Joseph Bower's bracklet since 1972. The only time I have taken if off was for operations but as soon as I could I placed it back on my wrist. I truly believe that they will some day find his remains which will put his family to ease. This was started to support the troops and today the troops still need our support.

Colonel Joseph Bower POW Bracelet
I have a POW/MIA bracelet I have had since the 1970's with Colonel Joseph Bower engraved on it. During the war, I wore this proudly. I learned later that he had been killed in action when his plane was shot down over the ocean. I have always kept this in his honor.
I recently found this website and discovered that it is customary to return the bracelet to the serviceman's family. Does anyone know how to reach them? I realize it has been a long time but I would like to find out if his family would like to have this bracelet. If anyone can put me in contact, I would appreciate it. You can email me at karenalden@aol.com and put Colonel Joseph Bower in the subject line.
I would like to extend my thanks and blessings to all veterans. You will always be in my heart.
