VIETNAM POW/MIA MEMORIAL PATCH

ALOHA MY BROTHERS, SISTERS AND FRIENDS!

THIS PATCH IS TO REMEMBER OUR POW/MIAs

THE USE OF PETROGLYPHS, BARBWIRE AND THE VIETNAMESE FLAG SYMBOLIZE OUR PLIGHT TO NEVER FORGET THEM!!!

MEANING OF THE SYMBOLS:

LINE 1: POW/MIAs

LINE 2: VIETNAM

LINE 3: UNFORGIVABLE

THE BARBWIRE TIES IT ALL TOGETHER

WE ARE NOT UNFORGIVING; IT IS UNFORGIVABLE THAT WE STILL DON’T KNOW HOW MANY POWs AND MIAs ARE UNACCOUNTABLE FOR!
