Re: Lost Dogtags, Found

In 1994 a tourist to Hue City, Vietnam, purchased more than 1,400 dog tags believing they were from Americans listed as missing in action (MIA). A check of the dog tags revealed that although none appear to be those of an MIA, most are genuine and were worn by Americans during the war. In other words, these soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines served with honor and returned home after the war. Their dog tags, however, didn't.
The primary goals of this project are to reunite lost dog tags with their owners or family members and to collect some background information on how they were lost. So, if you find your name or the name of a friend on the list of 1,000, please let us know. (Not all dog tags list the branch of service.) Once we verify that we're reuniting the correct dog tag with the correct person, we'll send it back to you at no cost.
If you have information about these or any other dog tags, please email CILHI webmaster@cilhi.army.mil"
