A special connection made at The Wall That Heals in Butler

Gay Nissen of Butler paid a visit to The Wall That Heals this week to rekindle a special connection made many years ago

In the early 1970s, approximately 5 million POW/MIA bracelets were distributed to raise awareness for American servicemen captured or missing in action (MIA) during the Vietnam War and Nissen was the recipient of a bracelet which bore the name of soldier Terence Hanley, a keepsake she has held dear for decades.

In his honor, Nissen located his name and made a rubbing, thus reconnecting with a very special memory of her past.
