I received this from a list I subscribe to and thought it worthy to pass
along. Some of you may have received this from the same list I did, and if
so I appolgise. But I thought I was worth sending out to everyone in my
address book.

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!
