GI Dog Tag

Dug this up. I covered the # for privacy. Looks WWII or Korean war? Found in a 1900 to 1950ʻs dump. What do you think?

We had a similar post some time back and the consensus was to return it to the family of the owner. I believe there is a government agency which assists in that endeavor. I recommend it. Hopefully younger, remembering minds will chime in.

Ok. Sounds like a good idea. Iʻll see if I can find which Kataoka family it is. Very common name here.

If you're wondering the T46 is when the vet received his tetanus shot 1946 A is his blood type.

The other post was mine... Jim said it had to be sent to the Pentagon.

They should be sent to the Pentagon exactly as pointed out here, the details are important because they could belong to a POW-MIA, they should not be kept under any circumstances IMHO...

If you do decide to send it in, lie about where you found it. The last thing you need is a bunch of government agents on your doorstep looking to rip your dump apart to look for more dog tags!

The possible remains of a fallen soldier or his belongings far outweigh any stinkin' bottles my friend...

Keep in mind that you never have to worry about remembering what you told someone when you tell them the truth Ryan[]

Lying is NEVER a good idea or solution. Don't do it.
