James Wayne Gates

I purchased my MIA bracelet in 1972 at school for 1 dollar. I still wear it. I still think of him and his sister who became my friend through letters. She gave me a picture of him and it sits with the rest of my family pictures. He will not be forgotten. My little sister and my son do not remember a time that I didn't wear my bracelet, and they have their own bracelets, he has always been a part of their lives. Always remember.
