James Patrick Mehl

With condolences to your family. I apologize but I am trying to get in touch with James Jr. (Jimmy). If someone could ask him to call me I would appreciate it. My cell is the same 202-365-2954.

I recently found among a box of trinkets, a POW bracelet I wore in high school late 60s, in hope of his safe return, I'm so sorry he has passed. Please know I care and thank him so very much for his service to our country. I will keep it visible now always.❤

I am so sorry for your loss. I also wore a POW bracelet with his name on it and prayed for him and all your family. I was thrilled to hear of his return. God bless you all. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mother Martha Burgess Fowlie wore Capt. Mehl's POW/MIA bracelet during his days of captivity. I have the bracelet and will send it to you if you like.

On this Veterans Day, I thank him for his service and sacrifice and I thank his family for their service and sacrifice.

I am so sorry for your loss. My name is Christine. I had a POW bracelet in the 1970s. Capt. James Mehl is the name on the bracelet. I wore this bracelet and prayed for him every day for several years. While at my parents' home last weekend, I found the bracelet and googled him. I am so pleased that he returned to his home and family. If you would like the bracelet, I would be happy to mail it to you. My email address is [email protected]. Please let me know. Bless you all and Capt....

My condolences to the family. I worked with Captain Mehl when he was Project Manager for the A/TA4 aircraft and I was Contract Administrator at the Douglas factory. Enjoyed the experience very much!
