With the help of Scott Clark & Angelo's Angels WWII Dog Tag Return Project on face book https://www.facebook.com/angelosangels

Being a veteran myself, this is such an INSPIRATIONAL story. It's really cool to know that good folks like ourselves are still out there and willing to return items that were lost so many generations ago back to their original owners, or family members. PROPS to you sir! -Very nice find though by the way!

Great save! You made part of that family complete again.

My hat is off to you heavy! It is returns like yours that makes md one the greatest hobbies in the free world!

 

[CRUSADER]

I've always wanted to do this (& will always try with a similar item). I have failed with my best option a WWI item from Australia but it's something we should all try & do with items like this. The value to the family far out weighs the value to us, so congrats on a job well done. It also puts us ALL in a good light as well as bringing a warm glow to ourselves & others.

Thanks for your good deed! It's always great to return such a personal item.

The absolute best part of this hobby in my opinion. #1 making and personal connection to an item(esp military).
#2. Returning an item to the owner or a loved one of the deceased. It's just the right thing to do and is so rewarding for both parties. Great job bud. It helps us all and improves the image of this hobby

Very well done on the return a real win/win for all.
