| Dog
Tags Found In Viet Nam
http://www.founddogtags.com
| 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,
http://www.founddogtags.com
|
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
| Viet
Nam, I suggest you check out this website. If you recognize a name,
| there's
an e-mail address to 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!
