We were contacted by the Director of Veteran Services in Lewis County New York who was recently given a  dog tag from a Veteran’s spouse who purchased it in a yard sale back in the 90’s. After researching and not finding a relative interested in the dog tag, she set it aside. Recently coming across it again, she reached out for some help in finding a living relative.....

We are happy to report that we continued with the research, which is all listed below, and have made contact with Joseph Rejko's granddaughter, Debbie, who was ecstatic to learn about her granddad's dog tag. Plans are now underway to get his dog tag back home. Thank you Mr Rejko for your service to our country!
