Amazing reunion story

Veteran's lost dog tags, returned after 20 years

Amazing reunion story

I said, you have some doctor. I said, Where did you find them? And she responds back and says, Well, you know, I was at the stake sale out here in Chicopee, Mass. And they just so you know, they were just here first and last name my address at the time, which is still my parents address. He was a year ahead of me, so he gave me some insight onto, you know, why should join the guard and what the benefits were. And I said, That sounds together. Not only did she send me these dog tags I haven't seen in 20 years, she also sent me a gift card for my favorite take out restaurant and also a very lovely set of jewelry, earrings and a necklace and saying, Thank you for your service.
