Dog Tag of Robert C Anderson Jr

We are currently looking to connect with the family of Vietnam veteran Robert C Anderson to return dog tag to them. Anderson's dog tag was found in Vietnam in 1993 and brought back to the US by a retired Chief of Police/USMC Vietnam veteran while he was volunteering for Operation Smile in Vietnam. 

Bob Anderson was born July 2, 1949 in West Virginia. He was a proud Army veteran. He was formerly a drummer with the band "Subway", and was previously employed as a contractor with the US Department of Defense for Nations / Eagle Systems. Bob loved spending time with his friends at Buck's Lounge in Morgantown (and loved their chili dogs). He enjoyed fishing, was a fan of NASCAR, and loved telling his long stories.
