I wore a few of these POW bracelets years ago, but sadly I was never fortunate enough to meet the brave men they honored.

This is pretty remarkable:

ELKO, Nev. — As a teenager in Nebraska, Kathy Long wore a POW bracelet as part of a program to honor U.S. soldiers missing in action in Vietnam.

Engraved on the bracelet was the name of a soldier, Navy Lt. Commander John McCain, along with the date his jet was shot down in 1967.

More than 30 years later, Long finally met McCain _ during a campaign stop by the Republican presidential candidate Saturday in Elko.

While some might say Ms. Long had the advantage of owning the bracelet of a very well known POW it amazes me that after all these years she was able to make personal contact with Senator McCain. Rest of story.
