Condolence From: Martha A Lippert-Scott
Condolence: When the Nov 11, 1970 POW Bracelets were distributed, our family was honored to receive a bracelet for Nathan B Henry. My 9 yr old Daughter wore it every day for many years.
Skip ahead to 2021 November we blessed it and prayed for Nathan B Henry.
Not knowing the family in North Carolina, we too felt the anguish and heart felt love for him, his family and friends.
We are happy to find his obituary and print it out and put with the cuff/bracelet and put with the WW2 Flag the Navy provided our family.
RIP Dad and our adopted, Son/Brother, Nat B Henry.
Martha Lippert-Greenwood
Jeannette Lippert - Age 9 at time of receipt of your bracelet, now a Grandmother herself.

Condolence From: Paul E. Vinson
Condolence: Nat was a very honorable man and soldier. although I only saw him on occasions while visiting my brother in Franklin. (Dennis) During one meeting, I ask Nat about Carroll Flora. Sfc. Flora was a SOG Recon man and was captured in 1968, in the Ashau Valley. Nat said they friends while being held in Hanoi. He said he had lost touch with Flora once back in country. There is a good photo of Nat and Flora together during the release ceremony in 1973, in John Plasters book "SOG, a Photo History of the Secret Wars". Both men standing at attention and flanked my NVA soldiers personify the courage and strong will of our American spirit. We all owe the POW's a debt of gratitude that we can never repay. Thank you Nat for enduring all the hardships of being a POW. To many of us Viet Nam veterans our lot was easy in comparison to what you had to cope with. We loved you as a brother in arms and respected your ability to survive all those hardships. Rest now Nat knowing the earthly struggles are over. Sincerely, Paul Vinson

Condolence: Gone, But Not Forgotten
Gone, But Not Forgotten - Marilyn Ferguson
Gone, but not forgotten
This pain, I cannot hide
In memory, I see you
A million tears, I've cried.
The tender thoughts you left me
Come to my memory
Your loving smile, so precious
Will always be with me.
You visit me in summer
When flowers are in bloom
Upon a ray of sunshine
A star-lit night in June.
When winds are gently blowing
Across a cloudless sky
Within a rolling meadow
Where horse and cattle lie.
I see you in the treetops
As summer comes to be
In shadows, you do linger
A soul so young and free.
I see you in the garden
Your scent does fill the air
Just like a precious flower
A rose, so ever fair.
On country roads, I find you
Along the wooded lane
Within the distant thunder
I see you in the rain.
In early hush of morning
You come without a sound
Upon a blazing sunset
Your memory can be found.
Like sprigs of morning glory
Upon the vine, they grow
With branches reaching outward
Into my heart, you go.
Just like a special angel
God wrapped you in His care
And took you off to heaven
To live with Him, up there.
But often, I still see you
Upon a light blue sky
And long so much to hold you
Why did you have to die?
Marilyn Ferguson

Condolence From: Ed Scherer
Condolence: What a loss! Nathan was the epitome of a citizen-soldier. When called upon, he served, suffered untold horrors while in captivity, yet returned to the home front to contribute unselfishly to his community. He lived the motto, "Duty, Honor, Country". And now, God has called him home where he may be greeted with "Well done, good and faithful servant"(Mathew 25:23). He was a Red Warrior Patriot.
