Bracelet:
Despite the protests against the war at home, the POWs were not forgotten. Bracelets, engraved with a prisoner's name and date of capture, were a popular way to keep them in the public mind. This bracelet bears the name of John S McCain, a 1958 graduate of the Naval Academy, and the son and grandson of admirals. McCain later became a United States senator and advocate for MIAs. |
