I worked shoulder to shoulder with Ralph Browning in the Pentagon, XOE. Ralph always knew what was wise, fair and true. He was through and through a good man, solid friend and loving husband, father and mentor. There was a quality with Ralph's manner that made it a real joy to be in his company. Those who met Ralph will never forget him. Ken Israel (Major General, USAF Retired).

I have a POW bracelet of general Brownings from the 1960s. I am now preparing my own final arrangements and so I would like to give the bracelet to someone who would appreciate it and what it stands for. We all need to remember our national heroes if anyone is interested in getting this bracelet, please let me know. I live in the Springs where he graduated from the Academy.

Yesterday I visited the "Healing Wall" a mobile replica of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial wall on display in our home town in New York. It immediately brought me back to the '70's. I was in high school. Many of us obtained POW bracelets to wear in support of those missing in action. Mine bore the name Capt. Ralph Thomas Browning. I wore that bracelet with honor for many years until the thin, rusted metal became unhealthy. His name stayed forever on my heart. I am embarrassed to say...

Ralph epitomized perfect blend of courage, faith and integrity.

I wore this bracelet as a boy to honor Captain Browning. I found it yesterday at my mother's home. I knew that he returned from Vietnam after capture but did not keep up with his career. I would like to send the bracelet to his family in his memory.
