I have found several people who have worn his bracelet! It is wonderful! Thank you for wearing his bracelet and for your prayers for our family. He had two children--myself and my brother. His remains have never been found, and he was declared dead in 1978. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about him. (lefton4@comcast.net) Sincerely, Cindy Knapp Lefton Dear Michael,

Herman Knapp. I lost it several years ago. For some reason, I just thought about him and did a search on his name. I never knew what his status was. My wife and I were both raised Air Force. My thoughts and prayers have always gone out to his family. Thank you for his dedication and bravery to be there when our country called upon him. I owned the POW braclet of Col.

Then I scrolled down and saw the message from CPT J (re: Herman Knapp) to my mother and father. I sent this to my mother and we cannot figure out who CPT J is--we really want to know and thank him for the honor. CPT J--if you see this, please reply! Thanks! Regards, Cindy Knapp Lefton Hello,

You need to put a “misty eye” alert at the top of this.

I had invited a couple of local Gents and their escorts to the Ball and they were silent and respectful during the toast to the missing. (The eldest of my guests had been a defender of Calais, during the Dunkirk evac.) Afterwards, my guests related that the story and toast to the missing place as being the most memorable part of the Ball. Even years later, their memory of the occasion has been brought up by those who had been present. Lex's post makes me proud and humbled to be associated with our Armed Forces.
