Forwarding a site I received through another List. I went to the site and
they do list the names from the dog tags as well as some that they have been
able to return to the families.

>
> 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!
