Dog Tags Found In Viet Nam

[hrdlife1]

I don't know if this is true or not but thought I'd pass it on just in case:

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,

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!

The discovery of these tags after so many years from
servicemen
dead, missing and in some cases still alive is
mindboggling when you
consider the emotions that will be reignited.I leave
you to your own
thoughts on this one.

Claim: Two men are returning authentic, lost dog tags to the families of U.S. soldiers who served in Vietnam.

Status: Not likely.

What's probably not true, however, is that the dogtags they're attempting to return were actually lost by servicemen. As plenty of Vietnam veterans (and others) have noted, since dog tags are difficult to authenticate and relatively easy to manufacture (and information about Vietnam-era servicemen is fairly simple to obtain), the sale of counterfeit, artificially-aged dog tags to gullible American tourists is a cottage industry in Vietnam.

How many dog tags were there actually, how many did they buy? They could be conterfeit, it's possible. People do all kinds of things to make a living.
