05 Apr 2007 I have just acquired, and now wear, an MIA bracelet for MSGT Holt. May God bless him, and bring comfort and peace to his family; and may God bring peace to our nation, and the nations of the world. I pray this in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Verner M. Ingram, Jr. ilf1@verizon.net

11 Jul 2007 MSG Holt. I have worn your bracelet now for over 25 years. It has only come off my wrist once and that was for surgery. I am an ex-Ranger and Green Beret and I will wear this until I hear of a reason I shouldn't. I along with many, many others are so very proud of you and all the others who were there and you will continue to be my hero in life. SUA SPONTE. From veteran and bracelet wearer, Joe DeRobbio jkderobbio@cox.net

03 Dec 2007 I have worn MSGT James W. Holt's POW-MIA bracelet since August 2006, and am very honored for it. I hope God is with all the families and others who are missing or have paid the full price. Bob L. bl596@yahoo.com

22 Dec 2007 I located MSGT Holt's bracelet at Ranger Joe's in Columbus, Georgia, this past summer. I had read about the action in Soldier of Fortune magazine many years ago. I have recently contacted the newspaper in his hometown, Hot Springs, Arkansas. The date of his last known action is 7 February 1968. It will soon be 40 years since he was last seen. I felt it would be appropriate for the newspaper to publish an article on this brave American. Please feel free to contact them and ask them to remember him. I feel that SGT Holt would have taken the fight to our enemies in any corner of the world. It is an honor to wear his bracelet and my hope is that story will never be forgotten.

29 Dec 2007 I have worn Master Sergeant William Holt's name for 6 years now. It is an honor to me. I pray for the soldiers of the past and for the brave men and women in this war today. God Bless the world. Faye Andrews scrapes52@yahoo.com

26 Jan 2008 I am wearing MSG James W. Holt's bracelet. I have been researching his life and his story. I hope that someday all of the men who were left behind will be brought home. My thoughts, prayers, and hearts go out to him and his family. A1c Ashley M. Allen ashley.allen@moody.af.mil
