When a dog tag attached to a service photo arrived at the Marshall County thrift store, the organization knew that the objects were of value to someone, and that that person needed them back.
The dog tag and photo were placed in the donation box, and when the store discovered them, the organization used social media to find the owner. The name on the dog tag was that of James R. Brothers.
And eventually someone did come to claim the dog tag and the photo. James's youngest brother, Lowell, came to pick up the objects, claiming that they were donated by mistake! Unfortunately, James passed away just over one year ago. He was an Air Force veteran.
Lowell also says that while the dog tag is his brother's, the photo is not of him. The family believes that the picture is that of James's second wife's first husband, who was a pilot in the military. He's hoping that the rest of family will be able to confirm that so that they, too, can repossess a precious memento.
Now, the dog tag will be passed down to James's daughters.
If you were moved by this family's reunion with the precious token, please SHARE!
