I think the TV special is Standing Tall with James Arness narrating

I always remember thw arm barcelet as being brass in colour. It is visible in the likes of Big Jake and Chsium.

The POW bracelet i think is silver


Mike

Thanks Dakota

I knew I read that somewhere.

He also wore a silver bracelet in memory of a US veteran killed in Vietnam. Is this the same or a different bracelet?

Mike

Thanks Reasr

I think I remember hearing that story.

Thanks for information

Mike

It is noticable in a lot of later John Wayne movies that he always wears a gold bracelet on his right arm.

Is this a piece of Indian jewellery or something for arthritis like a brass ring.

It looks golden and I have never heard or read of John Wayne suffering particularly from arthritis but it could have something to do with injuries
picked up from his days as a stuntman.

Any knowledge person out ther able to confirm it source or purpose.

Mike
