I recieved the following from a friend:

Dog Tags Found In Viet Nam

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 U.S., 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!
