Thanks for posting, that was very cool, when I was a kid growing up in KY we dug up all kinds of stuff, that was the good old day's.

i sat here and read the whole thing.
it never really occured to me that people in other country's would be interested in american military stuff.
that was a cool story.
i can see how finding the artifact,then digging up the story and possibly contacting the people involved with that story, could be pretty addictive....

Good Night! My head is swimming.

I actually "google-earthed" the address on the dog tag, just to see the soldier's home. I find this stuff fascinating.

Thanks for sharing.

Many gave all
All gave some


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.


For our tomorrow
They gave their today

Near the end of the thread did you see the case of TNT blocks they found? I am surprised most of that stuff wasn't cleaned up soon after the fight!
