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 toViet 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!
