Need help tracking down family of military dog tag.

[BladeRunner2019]

Hi all.

I found this dog tag a while back but didn't have any luck tracking down the family. I think it's Korean era, but I'm not positive. I know some of you are pretty good at stuff like this so I'm hoping you can help me out so I can return it to the family.

Here is the info on the tag.

O'Brien, Jack B.

Thanks!!

I have sent 3 messages on FB. So far only one responded and she wasn't the granddaughter.

On another note, I found a WWII dog tag recently and was able to find the soldier's son. He lives in the next county over. Once our schedules work out, we're going to meet up so I can return it to him.

Catholic, not Methodist.

I can't find this on line, it's a very common name.

Your best bet may be to send a letter to your senator or Congressperson and include the service number.
