Found this WW2 era dog tag a few weeks back, unfortunately the owner has passed But was able to return it to his son through some research & many emails, I decided to mail it off to him since my area is still in partial lock down. Only thing better then finding it was returning it to his family, now if I could just make some headway on the marine corps WW1 medal I found!!
Successful return

Good work Oneil! Pretty darn cool.
Just for some added information, the first numbers are his service number then it T44 shows he has had his tetanus shot, the letter A shows his blood type, the letter P on the bottom right shows he is Protestant, they were produced this way with no next of kin & last name first from 1944-1946.

Now that return will bring you some karma. I'm sure the family was thrilled.
