MIA/POW Bracelets
The bracelets in this episode were worn to support prisoners-of-war (POWs), but they were also worn by the families and friends of service members who were Missing In Action (MIA) and whose fate was unknown. The first bracelets originated in 1969 during the Vietnam War. They were made by two female college students, Carol Bates and Kay Hunter, as a way to remember American soldiers in captivity in Southeast Asia. Support bracelets are still used to date as a way to commemorate military personnel lost or captured in the Gulf War, and war in Afghanistan and Iraq. (edit) Lt. Stillman: Do you think someone who had a nervous breakdown after four months at Fort Hood could survive five years in the Hanoi Hilton?
Ho Lo Prison in Hanoi was where many of the American POWs were kept during the Vietnam War. It was nickamed the "Hanoi Hilton" by the prisoners. Torture and solitary confinement were common there; the nickname was ironic. (edit)

HonorSuperb "Painful to watch" A Vietnam vet, POW, is murdered a year after his early relase by his captors--release not because he was sick, or old, but because he gave the North Vietnamese the propaganda they wanted (broadcast throughout the POW camp)--he couldn't take it anymore.
