    3. >This site may be of help to someone. > >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! >
