I know it's been a couple years, but I want to speak up. Obama did nothing wrong to our family. It was ALL a miscommunication between my divorced parents. We want Obama wearing Ryan's bracelet. We did not mean to upset other Gold Star families, and that was our only reason for possibily considering asking him to not mention Ryan's name. I just want to make this clear. My mom, brother, and I stand behind our President. -Jessica Jopek, Sister of Sgt Ryan Jopek
i was a member of cpl stanleys section, a very dear friend, it just goes to show that politics have no face either...obama didnt spend time in a viet. prison being tortured...HE is the one playing the cards on this one
ya...They appreciate that he is wearing it. They had originally asked him to take it off but then were glad that he was still wearing it and mentioned his name. I went to school with Ryan. RIP

I guess I'll educate you idiots. Follow these simple directions a five year old could do:
1. Go to Google
2. Type in "Obama bracelet"
3. Click the AP ling, which should the first you see
4. Read about what the MOTHER said
The question is: Do you have the capabilites of a five year old?
*Note: The mother and father are DIVORCED

Mr. Obama, the Jopek's have asked you NOT to wear their son's bracelet and are appalled that you betrayed their wishes.
Take it off Obama, out of respect for his family.

There was a later story where they were over joyed that he was wearing the bracelet.
About a week later.
