Paxton found Carey in Texas, an author and motivational speaker; he was held for years at the Hanoi Hilton, some of it overlapping with John McCain.
Fox News editor Brad Paxton was one of those kids who sent his $2.50 away to purchase a bracelet. His bracelet honored Navy Lt. Dave Carey, shot down in North Vietnam on Aug. 31, 1967. Liz Friden is a Pentagon producer based in Washington, D.C.
"It was a trend that was happening and we kind of wanted to be part of it. It grew to be a much deeper thing for me … after wearing the bracelet for so long, I kind of made a mental commitment to myself to kind of keep his name in my mind," Paxton says.
He estimates about 50% of his junior high school was wearing a bracelet back in the day.
