I just went back to recheck on the status... there was a new page I never saw before, his Team Daddy was Billy Waugh... this was new information for me. A small world gets smaller, and the threads running through it tighten over time...
The broken halves of the original bracelet were brought to the D-FW National Cemetary since I was in College at the time... TCU, MAJ Howard had just finished his Master's the year before when I was a Freshman...

About 20 years ago while I had a slow night at work, I remember reading a story about SSG Strohlein on his work on HALO and his work in Vietnam. I was amazed then and still am now. I have never forgotten his name and how he was a truly remarkable soldier.
