A POW bracelet (or POW/MIA bracelet) is a nickel-plated or copper commemorative bracelet engraved with the name, rank, and loss date of an American serviceman captured or missing during the Vietnam War. The bracelets were first created in May 1970 〔Allen, Michael J. ''Until the Last Man Comes Home''. The University of North Carolina Press, 2009. Page 57.〕 by a California student group called ''Voices in Vital America'' with the intention that American POWs in Vietnam not be forgotten. The bracelets sold for $2.50 or $3.00. Those who wore the bracelets vowed to leave them on until the soldier named on the bracelet, or their remains, were returned to America. Between 1970 and 1976 approximately 5 million bracelets were distributed. ==See also== *Memorial bracelet *POW/MIA flag 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「POW bracelet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
