Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Arthur Ballard holds a POW/MIA bracelet that was worn in his memory for six and a half years while he was a prisoner of war in the infamous Hoa Lo prison, aka the "Hanoi Hilton". More than five million of the bracelets were distributed in the early 1970's as part of a campaign to keep the memories alive of those missing in action in Vietnam. When the POW's finally returned home, people would mail them the bracelets that had been worn in their honor. "When we came home, it was one of the most emotional things that happened," said Ballard. Ballard, an F-105 fighter pilot, was shot down and captured on Sept. 26, 1966. After an interview with Ballard was posted on the Clemson University website in 2013, a supporter saw it and realized they were still holding one of his bracelets, and sent it to him.

Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Arthur T. Ballard shows the cup and spoon he used for six and a half years as a prisoner of war in the infamous Hoa Lo prison, aka the "Hanoi Hilton". Ballard, an F-105 fighter pilot with 68 combat missions under his belt, was shot down and captured on Sept. 26, 1966. "I think it was small arms fire, maybe 32 or 57 millimeter. The sky just filled up with that stuff. I don't remember a whole lot about the bailout. I woke up on the ground with a broken leg, and a rifle stuck in my face." He was finally released on March 4, 1973.
