Enamel bangle bracelet
19 (Bloomberg) -- The mother of a fallen soldier in Afghanistan handed John McCain an envelope that contained sacred contents: dog tags.
Please remember and support our troops in Afghanistan, God Bless you,'' she had scrawled on the outside.
Cheryl Lee Patrick, the mother of Staff Sergeant Patrick Lee Lybert, wanted the Republican presidential nominee to understand that our troops in Afghanistan need to be supported,'' she said in a telephone interview yesterday from her home in Ladysmith, Wisconsin. I just asked him never to forget Afghanistan.''
Presidential candidates get handed all sorts of items during the course of a campaign. For McCain, 72, being handed dog tags, or even a prisoner of war bracelet that bears his name from his time as a captive during the Vietnam War, isn't unusual.
Patrick's 28-year-old son died two years ago, high in the Hindu Kush mountains. A Taliban bullet found a seam between his helmet and his body armor and got him in the head,'' she said.
They need more troops there,'' said Patrick, who plans to vote for McCain. We have boots on the ground there, but not enough to win the war.''
McCain, landing in Green Bay Wisconsin yesterday afternoon, was greeted by Patrick on the tarmac. Just hours later, he recounted the exchange, recalling it in closing a rally with his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, 44
