I wore a POW/MIA bracelet with the name of Sgt. Bobby Harris and the date 3-17-71. Bobby was in a helicopter with Richard Bauman and Craig Dix when it was shot down in Cambodia. Bobby died; Richard and Craig were MIA. I remember them often, and especially on Memorial Day and March 17. My first child, a son, was born on March 17, 1978.I remain in awe of the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of Bobby, Richard, and Craig.
