Here's a wonderful story that Steve Hartman told on the CBS Evening News.

Woman wears POW/MIA bracelet for nearly 40 years

Kathy Strong received an POW/MIA bracelet for Christmas in 1972 with the name of Army Spec. 5 James Moreland on it, she put it on and not once has she ever removed it.

She'll remove it when she attends the burial of Moreland's remains, between his mother and father, May 14.

The bracelet will be buried with the Green Beret.

She talked to the Contra Costa Times about being without the bracelet --

"It's going to take some time to get used to," she said. "But, then I'll think of why I'm not wearing it and that brings peace to me. Now, I can take if off because he's finally coming home."

Rest in Peace.
