Not sure what to say?

I too wore Col Eaton´s POW/MIA bracelet as a teenager. My cousin was also killed in Viet Nam in 1969. Wearing the bracelet was an honor for me and was a constant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Col Eaton and WO John Cannon made in the noble cause of freedom. Even after all these years Col Eaton´s name remains in my heart and the bracelet holds pride of place in my jewelry collection. In grateful remembrance All gave some. Some gave all. God bless America.

I wore Col. Norman D. Eaton ~ POW/MIA braclett when I was a little girl. I think of him quite often and want to honor him for his service this Memorial Day 2020. Prayer's for his family and descendant's.

I too wore Col. Norman D. Eaton's POW/MIA bracelet during grade school. I have kept it in my "box of life" indebted to his service. I am So thankful his remains were found and he was property buried with full honors in Arlington. His life had a profound affect on me and he should be happy to know the veteran support that now embraces our Vietnam Vets.

I wore Col. Norman D. Eaton's bracelet from the time I was 14 until I was 20. Both my brother and my husband graduated from USMA in 1976.

I will never forget how I felt finding his name on the Wall as I visited as an adult many years later. I have since learned that his son is also a USMA grad (1972).

I am now 59 and just learned that his final remains returned to the U.S. in Dec. 2015. I thank him for his service, sacrifice, and exceeding patience on getting him...

I came across Col. Eaton's POW/MIA bracelet today while going through an old jewelry box. I remember wearing it in elementary school. My grandpa gave it to me and explained the significance of it. I prayed for him regularly. I am thankful his family have now had closure. May God be with them.

I wore Col. Norman D. Eaton's (POW/)MIA bracelet for many years, I never took it off once I had originally put it on, until I had to remove it during a hospital stay. As his birthday approaches on August 11, I am remembering his sacrifice, and his family's, for me and for mine. Although I never met him, he had a profound affect on me. I wish I could say thank you more eloquently. God bless.

I still have col. eatons mia bracelet which I wore in elementary school. Looked up his info on internet today. Glad to finally place a face with my bracelet and that he was found and memorialized.
