Vet, 90, Gets Back Dog Tag He Lost During World War II

Willie Wilkins served in France during World War II, where he worked in the Army's Quartermaster Graves Registration Units. His job entailed retrieving the bodies of American soldiers. At some point, he lost his dog tag.

NJ.com reports that Wilkins, 90, recently had his dog tag returned to him from a woman who found it in France back in 2001.

Anne-Marie Crespo was digging near a tree in her yard more than a decade ago when she discovered the small metallic tag. She assumed the soldier had died. It wasn't until recently that a neighbor convinced her to track down Wilkins.
