Those Dog Tags should be turned over to the family members on the MIA /
POW Team. The recovery team has a list of everyone not accounted for &
many families are constantly in touch with them.
Go through the National Headquarters of any Chartered Veteran
Organization. (American Legion, VFW, Vietnam Veterans, Korean War
Veterans, etc.)
That indeed will be a worthwhile effort.
I wish them "Good Luck" !
