POW Bracelet Leads To Plano Meeting 40 Years Later (Jerry Singleton)

Call it fate, chance or even a divine appointment. A woman just happened to come across the name of the man whose POW bracelet she wore 40 years ago.

When the two got the chance to meet, she called it an answer to prayer.

Nor did he know that his new Jeep would become the vehicle that would bring him to Karen Judd, who had never met him but felt connected to him by the POW bracelet she had worn with his name on it when she was in junior high school.
