Just so everyone knows, I submitted a picture of this to that historic website and requested information to some NOK to return this to if they know of anybody...
Chester S.C. is a long way from Oklahoma .... He died in France in Normandy, so this must have been returned to his father maybe ?
Maybe he lived in Chester after the war and somehow lost it in the yard after that... clearly it was not buried with him..

While waiting for the historic website to get back with you, I'll see if I can locate a next of kin. Will post my progress.

Thanks for your service. What rate were you? I was MMN for 12 years.
My dog tags also didn’t look like this. One of the links I posted shows a brief timeline of the changes dog tags have seen over the years.

Ok, some research on FamilySearch reveals that Clinton had a few siblings, who also are deceased. His oldest brother Homer Eugene Griffin had a son named Donald Eugene Griffin, who is also deceased. However, someone by the name of Lori Jean Toone has made several changes to his FamilySearch record - and often times they are either related to or knows a close relative of Clinton. I sent her the following message via FamilySearch. Will post her reply assuming she does...

Hi Lori, my name is Al Price (aka invent4hir). I noticed that you made several changes to Donald Eugene Griffin's FamilySearch record. Are you or do you know a close relative of his Uncle Clinton Howard Griffin? Reason for asking is that a group of us on Treasurenet is looking for Clinton’s his next-of-kin. One of his dog tags was found by a fellow TreasureNet member and I'm just trying to connect. You can see the tag and info at https://www.treasurenet.com/threads...thanks-for-the-incredible-information.709154/. Please let me know if you are or know a close relative of Clinton who would treasure the dog tag. To confirm this is legit please see my involvement in the return of another dog tag at https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/memories/LZJY-X8W.
