This came across on one of my other lists and I thought I would share.

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
Vietnam 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!
