I took these photos at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. ~a great place to visit by the way, if you are at the beach and need a day out of the sun.
I bet y'all will remember these. We wore them to commemorate the POWs during the Vietnam war. I wore mine for years.
Seeing thousands of them thrown in the display makes your heart heavy. 'Thank you' is just not enough.
Happy Hunting y'all!

that does give you a heavy heart. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
i wore mine until it broke in half and fell off my arm. he didn't make it home, i checked.
a very touching shot
Thanks for sharing!
Whoa!!! If there were a contest for the best of the theme this one should be the winner. As a Vietnam vet (Never a POW, Thank God) this one went straight to my heart! Thank you so much for caring!!!

I wore mine for years, too, until it broke. I still remember his name and checked it when I visited the Vietnam Memorial in D.C. He didn't make it home, either, and I cried. The thought of it brings tears to my eyes even now.
Definitely gives you a heavy heart. I love your post - so different but so moving.
That is sobering to see them all together like that. So sad, so many, too young.
Great photo for the theme.
wow - definitely different! Very cool pick for the theme.
Wow - how great are those!! Thanks for sharing.
I haven't thought about those in YEARS! It made me sigh when I saw your photos! Such a sad time in our history.
Hugs!

That is a best way to remember the POWs.
this is a sobering photo. Let's pray for them.
I'm not American so I had no idea what they were.
What a wonderful idea it was and how sad to find out that one's soldier did not make it home.
Happy weekend to you.
