Rhonda wrote to Olive Tree Genealogy blog about wanting to find the family of Gordon C. Hall, MIA in Vietnam. Perhaps my readers can help? Here is Rhonda's email:
I am very touched by these stories I have read about these MIA
bracelets. I too am trying to find any family belonging to the soldier
of the MIA bracelet that I have. His name is Gordon C Hall.
I went to
the Vietnam Wall last week and penciled a sketch of his name and left a
letter thanking him for his service. (my father was in Vietnam). My
mother has kept this bracelet all these years and I wanted to leave it
at the wall, but we decided to hopefully find his family.

This bracelet probably doesn't belong to a family member. MIA bracelets were quite common during and immediately after the Vietnam war. POW/MIA associations used them as fund-raising tools much like the Live Strong bracelets of today. The one difference was you could often choose a bracelet for a specific person.
