FOUND DOG TAGS IN VIETNAM |
|||
|
On a recent "Today Show" there was a story about two men who went to
Hanoi on a business trip. The men encountered a guy selling old GI dog tags from US servicemen who were killed during the Viet Nam War.
They were disgusted by the thought of this man profiting from the sale of these tags. Upon returning to the US, they decided to go back
to Viet Nam and purchase ALL the dog tags. They did so, paying 19 cents per tag! They brought home several hundred tags. The plan is to
return the tags to surviving family members, when they can find them. The process has already begun with one set being turned over to a
grieving Mom on July 4th, (coincidentally, it was on her birthday)! These two men have set up a website, BELOW listing the names of all those whose tags they purchased. If you lost friends, family, or know of someone who lost a loved one in Vietnam, I suggest you check out this website. If you recognize a name, contact these two men and to help in their efforts to return the dogtag to it's rightful survivor. I'm sure a family member would be eternally grateful to have such an important item returned. Please help by checking this website. And please send the website address to everyone you know. The more people who see the lists, the greater the chance of returning ALL the tags to those who lost loved ones in Viet Nam! The discovery of these tags after so many years from servicemen dead, missing and in some cases still alive is mind boggling when you consider the emotions that will be re-ignited. I leave you to your own thoughts on this one. http://www.founddogtags.com/ Please, even if you know no one on the list, pass this on to all you work with or those on your e-mail list. They may know someone! |
