No matter what state they hail from, each has his story to tell, but most only have the DoD Bio to tell their story. Like Harry Coen, he will never be able to tell us his story. We all need to read them and understand what they did in their finest hours.

I've had SFC Coen's POW/MIA bracelet since 2 Dec 1972 (the day I was discharged from the U S Army). I've wondered for all these years regarding his status. Now I know. Doesn't change anything . . . I never knew him but won't forget him.

I have always wondered about the status of Sergeant Harry Coen. I wore his bracelet while I was attending South Catholic High School in Hartford, CT circa 1972-73. The bracelet has seen better days (it snapped in two), but thanks to your work, I'll never forget Sergeant Coen's heroism that day on my behalf.

For decades I've had this bracelet, but only recently have I learn the the details of Sergeant Harry Coen's bravery. Only now can I understand the great meaning of the metal on my wrist and the great honor of the name on it.

Coen was assigned to an infantry unit inserted to assist with the defense of the Special Forces camp at Kham Duc, which was under heavy attack by most of the 2nd NVA Division. Of the 39 Americans known to have died in the withdrawal from Kham Duc 32 men still have not come home. Harry Coen is one of the 32 men. |
