If this doesn't qualify for an HONORABLE MENTION, I don't know what would.
Congrats on a great find and return to the next of kin.

I second that! Much better than the ring returns I have. That's the tops when you get to return military. Great job HMT!

I love these kind of posts Dave - great job!! It's a reminder that I need to get off my butt and try again to locate the owner of a huge 2006 US Army Transportation School (Fort Eustis) ring I found in the water a few years ago, but only did a brief and unsuccessful search for the owner. Any ideas on where to go for help with this? The ring has initials, what I think might be the last 4 of the SSN, and the MOS. You would think that would make it easy, but officials at Ft Eustis couldn't (or wouldn't??) help.

Dave, I would expect this from you. Great gesture. Glad to see you posting. I was afraid Santa had kidnapped you, Dawg, & JB-LOL. I hope you have another great year. Everyone should view your 2014 annual finds on that forum. WTG, Q.
