FOXBORO - Certain things in life are priceless. "It's just one of the only things that I have of my grandfather's. It was extra heartbreaking losing this bracelet," Meredith McCarthy of Pennsylvania said.

For McCarthy, it's her grandfather's WWII bracelet which she proudly wore to the Army-Navy game this past weekend. During the fanfare and before kickoff she was proudly showing it off to other fans.

"I went to go show them the bracelet and it wasn't there. Everything went in slow motion, I tried not to cry in front of strangers," she said. The bracelet was gone. It had fallen off her wrist. During the entire game she was retracing her steps. "I kind of resigned myself to it being gone and never seeing it again," McCarthy said.
