January 14. 2024 I was going through a box of "stuff" and found the POW bracelet of your father´s that I wore until I fortunately read that he had come home. I received a note from your mother thanking me for something I sent. My twin brothers both served in Nam, it was a nightmare time. Read all about your father today online, wow! what a life he had. Blessings belated to your family.

Jeff, I knew you briefly around '70-'71, playing basketball behind your house in Elizabeth Lakes. Your father was still a P.O.W. when I moved away in June '71, but I have often thought of him and you. It was so wonderful to discover just a few years ago that he came home. As an Army brat myself I have always been grateful for your father's service. And as a pastor these past 40+ years he always comes to mind on Memorial Day weekend when I prepare to speak.

I was recently going through items belonging to my late husband, Steve Pirnat, and found Colonel Crow's POW bracelet, which Steve wore with pride while a college student. May Colonel Crow rest in peace.

I was privileged to be the son in law of Colonel Crow and Mary for a few years but friend of the family for many many years. The Crow family was always generous to me and we stayed in touch for many years. Colonel Crow was such a great man, courageous but humble, always mischievous and always with a ready smile. I think of them often with fond memories and wish their sons much good fortune in the future.

I would like to let his family know I have his POW bracelet that I have kept and treasured for years. If they would like it I can mail it to them.

I just saw this. I wore a POW bracelet for your father during his imprisonment. I still have it. I was so overjoyed when he came home. Prayers for your family.
