    3. 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!
