yes, it's more personal to represent a vet and have their name and information right in front of your face where you can see it and be reminded. It makes the veterans more tangible.
good question? i don't know. keep wearing the bracelet to remind yourself there are plenty more people out there who have fought for our country that others may have forgotten about. That's why I say having their name and info in front of you makaes them tangible. When you see them brought to life with their info right there, it's hard to deny that they exist/ed. Unfortunately there are many unnamed vets who this country has forgotten.
I agree. Both my grandfathers fought in a war. Both my grandfathers and my dad served the military and I have a friend over there right now. I feel for the families that just don't know where their loves are.
