Dear Major. I have had your bracelet for about 40/45 years now. I could never bring myself to get rid of it. I think of you every time I see it and the sacrifice you gave for America. I have nothing more to say but I hope your family reads my text and knows that you are never forgotten. Thank you.

I wore Maj. Brashear's bracelet.

On this, the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, I wore your bracelet again, in memory of your sacrifice for our country, and for people you would never know. We were all deeply wounded during that tragic time, and you sacrificed all. I think of you often and wonder about the family you left behind. God bless you, and them. ❤ ️

In high school I proudly wore your bracelet. I prayed everyday that you would be found. Today I searched your name. I cried when I found you. God bless you and your family. All I want to say is thank you for your service and supreme sacrifice for us.

Vietnam Veteran-Air Force Pilot
Lest We Forget Our Herows Sacrifice
On 8 May 1969, then Major William J. Brashear, pilot, and 1st Lt. Henry G. Mundt II, co-pilot, comprised the crew of an F4C that departed Cam Ranh Bay Airbase, South Vietnam as the #2 aircraft in a flight of 4. The flight was to conduct a road seeding mission. These missions were to deliver motion sensor devices, mines, etc., by air in order to either detect or destroy enemy movement through an area. Major Brashear and 1st Lt. Mundt, call sign 'Boxer 31,' was seen to roll in and complete their pass on the target. No radio contact was made by the crew of Boxer 31 upon recovery as they pulled off target. The Phantom sustained battle damage from enemy ground fire, but the crew was able to reach an altitude of about 7500 feet before William Brashear and Henry Mundt were seen to eject.
Search and recovery (SAR) aircraft were immediately on the scene, but because of heavy enemy ground fire, they were forced to retire from the area. Unable to rescue the crew William Brashear and Henry Mundt were immediately listed Missing in Action.

Bracelet Being Worn for Maj. William Brashear 2013
I purchased Maj. William Brashear's bracelet in 1971, and I'm still wearing it today. I don't know what drew me to this web site, but it's nice to know that so many positive thoughts are being sent out in honor of our heroes in the Vietnam War.

Wearing his bracelent
In recent weeks, I've been wearing the bracelet with Major William Brashear's name and feel oddly connected to him and to his memory. I pray for the grandchildren he never knew.

Major William Brashear
I have had my POW bracelet of Major William Brashear since 1971. I don't know why I picked this time to write about him, but just felt the need to. I want his family to know that while he might be gone, he certainly hasn't been forgotten.

You will never be forgotten.
I wear your bracelet in honor of your service. I now wear another for a fallen soldier from the Iraq war. May God grant both families peace and may your greatest gift never be squandered.
