Patriot Connections heads up the DOG TAG PROJECT

After the sudden passing of POW/MIA Awareness Committee Vice President, Tony Halas last summer (2014), the Dog Tags that were in their possession were turned over to Sue Quinn-Morris of Patriot Connections. Sue is also on the POW/MIA Committee, however the Committee will be disbanding after the Annual Candlelight Service being held on December 6th, 2014. 

DOG TAG RETURNS

Over the years dog tags have been reunited with veterans and their families through research and coordination with the help of several veterans organizations.

“What we have done with this project since receiving the dog tags is to ensure that each dog tag, when welcomed, is hand delivered to the veteran, or to their family, by a veteran,” Quinn-Morris stated.

The dog tags are returned by a veteran – brother to brother. Whether a small private hand off, or a more public return, each dog tag return is handled according to what the veteran is comfortable with.

It is essential to the Project that the dog tags are handled and delivered to the veterans and/or their families in a dignified manner. Our trusted partners aid in this – from the moment the dog tag is handed off to one of our partners, to the moment it reaches the hand of the veteran, the dog tag is well cared for and attended to, to ensure that it arrives to the veteran/family safely.

There are numerous dog tag returns underway all over the country. We welcome any help in finding the veterans/families that the dog tags belong to. For more information, contact Sue Quinn-Morris / 856-495-7270 / squinn9807@aol.com
