Dan Rector, of Monument, was a college student at CU Boulder in the early 1970s when he purchased this POW/MIA bracelet honoring Air Force Lt. Col. Ben Pollard, who was shot down during a night bombing mission north of Hanoi, and spent almost six years as a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese. The bracelet campaign was launched by a student activist group in Los Angeles, Voices in Vital America, to help raise awareness of the plight of missing service members and those known to be prisoners of war, and keep pressure on government officials to bring them home.
