We have heard that if we still have an MIA Bracelet that we can send it to the Vietnam Veterans and they will give it to the family. But we don't know where to send them to. So if anyone has any information or address please send it to us. Thanks!

1SG Pascal C. Poolaw, Native American Hero
. . Contributed By MSG Donald H. Pruitt, US Army Ret. On Sunday, November 30, 2003
1SG Poolaw died a hero on Nov 7th, 1967 in Vietnam while rescuing his Battalion Commander and members of his staff. For his actions, 1SG Poolaw was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for bravery against a superior force of North Vietnamese soldiers. 1SG Poolaw had enlisted in the US Army during WW2, and while fighting in Europe against the German Army, was wounded and awarded the Silver Star for his actions in defending a machine gun implacement, which he refused to surrender to the enemy. Again in the Korean War, 1SG Poolaw was wounded and awarded the Silver Star for Heroism on the battlefield against the North Koreans. After he had retired in 1962, 1SG Poolaw didn't have to be concerned about going to fight in the war in Vietnam. But this hero had 4 sons who were also in the US Military. 1SG Poolaw attempted to gain exemption for his sons from having to go to Vietnam by reentering the US Army and volunteering for assignment to Vietnam. 1SG Poolaw got his assignment, but lost his life on November 7th, 1967, along with 14 other members of the 1st Bn, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division. One of those soldiers was awarded the Medal of Honor that day. 1SG Poolaw died as the true hero he had always been on that day. His attempt to keep his sons out of harms way failed however as his son Pascal C. Poolaw, JR who was also in Vietnam at the time, escorted his father's body home to Oklahoma for burial. Pascal was later wounded and lost a leg, in addition to being shot five times on the battlefield. May the spirit of this great American hero live on forever in the minds of all Americans. 1SG Poolaw was my unit First Sergeant in Co A, 1st Battle Group, 31st Infantry, 7th Infantry Division in Korea in 1958-59. 1SG Poolaw will always be my hero.

A Tribute to the Forgotten Heros
. . Contributed By Michael Gracon On Tuesday, December 16, 2003
For those who answered the call and did their duty let us never forget you. "God, Duty, Country" will never be forgotten. I wear my dad's military uniform from Vietnam as a tribute to those who died, were missing in action, or severely injured. You served your country and the bravery and courage will never be forgotten. Let us never forget those who have died during Vietnam and what they did. In my eyes you are all heros and I have nothing but love and respect for we are all brothers and sisters.
