Hero Stories for bracelet

I've never had a family member in the military. Nor do I personally know anyone currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. But I wear a HeroBracelet memorial bracelet in the name of young Marine from California. I never knew him or his family. But he died serving a country that has given me much. I just want others to know about him. People ask me about my memorial bracelet often and I tell them what I know about this young Marine. I encourage others to wear a memorial bracelet to honor these ...

James Moore, writer and political corespondent recently wrote about HeroBracelets in a posting on www.huffingtonpost.com. We thank him for his interest in HeroBracelets.org. You can see the original posting HERE. ------------- Called to the Colors There is a place you can go to feel the war in Iraq. You can't experience it living in everyday America. We are shopping and playing golf and watching soap operas and complaining about the price of gas but we don't feel this war. Those of us who don...

We're VERY proud to finally be able to offer sterling silver HeroBracelets. It's taken a very long time to be able to offer these very special silver memorial bracelets, silver deployed bracelets and silver Purple Heart bracelets. We've even got a sterling silver dogtag. The new sterling silver bracelets are completely made by hand from the finest 925 sterling silver. They are formed and shaped by hand and each letter in the custom bracelet is individually hand stamped. Inside each bracelet...

Dear HeroBracelets, We ordered your memorial bracelets in the name of a boy that grew up the street from us. We had know Johnathan since he was little and always thought the world of him. He grew into a wonderful young man and joined the Army two years ago. We lost him in Iraq and we felt like we lost a member of our own family. We all ordered memorial bracelets from your website and wear them daily. It truly is a wonderful way to remember him. And people ask us about the memorial bracelets a...

Dear HeroBracelets.org, I had ordered a memorial bracelet a few months back from another website and, while I was happy to have the memorial bracelet, I was unhappy with the way it was made. The aluminum was thin and had rough edges. As it got beat up, I started looking for a better memorial bracelet and found HeroBracelets.org. I'm now very happy with the memorial bracelet I received. It's made of a much better quality, the edges are not rough and it's quite comfortable. Thank you HeroBracel...

Just got a great note from Carolyn Schroder. My husband is a Lt. currently serving in Iraq. I purchased HeroBracelets for all of the wives in his platoon who are here manning the fort. We all wear our bracelets everyday and won't take them off till they are home in our arms ... thank you for what you do! -Carolyn Schroder Twentynine Palms, CA </blockquo

We've been very fortunate to get this ongoing series of messages and photos from Melody Pigg about her son Marshall, who is currently deployed in Iraq. Marshall sent us cameras from Iraq! The poor people at Walgreens probably got tired of me hovering over them anxiously waiting to see these pictures. Here's a few of them for you to enjoy. One of them is of the sunset, two of them are of the very barren looking landscape, and the last one is of Marshall. It was so nice to see a picture of him....

I heard from Marshall today. He's doing very well. Despite the heat and constant stress of a hostile environment, he still has a good attitude and is confident that he made the right decision about joining the Marines. For security reasons, he's unable to discuss anything about what he's doing in the sandbox, so he likes to discuss what he wants to do when he returns to the states and when he gets out of the Marine Corps. We bought Marshall a 1982 Chevy Silverado Pickup for Christmas when he ...

We'd like to thank Andy Kilgore for his nice note and photos. My name is Andy Kilgore. I knew SGT Bradley J Harper (USMC) and attended the same church. Also, his father, Steve was a teacher in my school during my middle school years. I am grateful for my freedoms for which Brad died. I remember his sacrafice everyday. His memory will live on forever. People always ask about my HeroBracelet and HeroTag and it gives me the opportunity to share Brad's story with other students at Miami Universit...

We love getting notes from HeroBracelet wearers. Here is a picture of me wearing my bracelet. I have worn it in hornor of SPC. John Sullivan and his family for one and a half years faithfully without ever removing it! As a mother of a soldier serving in the Army National Guard we are all Family, and I wear it with pride as if John was my own son. John, and his family are in my heart. I think of them with love, honor, and pride. Always, Leah Sullivent</blockquo
