Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Our son was a true hero…a Captain in the US Army who was killed in Iraq while hoping to bring peace to all of the children of the world, especially his own 3 little ones. You sir, are also a hero, for caring so very much about the sacrifices that have been made and the lives that have been lost as our country fights to keep us free. I applaud you for sharing our stories with your children…and with others…in an admirable attempt to truly teach them the true...
Brian is my son. He was killed in Iraq April 9, 2007. He was only 20 yrs old and in Iraq 6 months to the day when a bomb hit his humvee that we was a gunner on. Brian was due to come home for a visit in just 2 weeks. I miss my boy. I rarely get on the my computer anymore but today I just happen to turn it on and the GSMs sent an email, just yesterday, about your generosity. If you have not reached your 100, I would very much like to have a bracelet, for his dad to wear proudly as he does a lo...

Praise God for this generous act. Praise God we still have people who care and think of the families left behind still hurting for their loss. This is a wonderful and generous thought. Many times I ponder how we mothers, and families, of our fallen heroes are forgotten, how we are not respected, by society, but then I look around and see how our Veterans are treated, so then I ponder again, and think to myself “Who am I?”, if our Veterans are treated with little respect after serving our co...

Dear Chris, Keith Dixon and Employees of HeroBracelets, I am so touched by your offer to donate a Hero Bracelet to family members of America’s Fallen. My son, LCpl Jourdan Lin Grez, was killed on May 11, 2005 in Iraq. He left behind his then two-year-old son, Colin. Colin is now 5 1/2 and asking poignant questions about his father…”is my daddy mad at me? Why doesn’t he come to see me?” I feel Colin is now old enough to understand the sacrifice his father made, and would truly appreciate one o...

Nick was killed that day—just turned 20 years old 3 weeks before. His Sgt. in the vehicle died 3 weeks later.
