I recently bought a "Faces of the Fallen" bracelet, and asked for a "random" name. I received the bracelet that honors John T. Stone. I served in the U.S.A.F. and was blessed to never have to put myself in harms way as SFC Stone did. I will wear his bracelet proudly, and remember him as I'm sure he was....A True American Hero! God Bless You My Friend!!
