Vietnam veteran reunited with dog tag over 50 years after it was lost during the war [Video]

(InvestigateTV) — Dog tags are an important symbol of U.S. Military service. Each carries the identity of a soldier.

Many service members and their families hold that little piece of metal dear as it signifies a life of service and, at times, sacrifice.

That’s why a South Carolina business owner worked with a stranger thousands of miles away to help reunite a Vietnam veteran with his lost tags.
