Well done !!!! I think that you may have cracked this mystery wide open. It certainly looks promising. I note that Robert McCULLOUGH in this obituary is survived by a number of children, so it is DEFINATELY worth pursuing. Do you have any ideas on how we can follow this up? I certainly appreciate your help and thank you for bringing the obituary to my notice. Just a pity that the poor old soldier is not still alive to know about this dog tag being found. Thank you again. Yours gratefully. Gary Traynor (Administrator - Medals Gone Missing) Hello there Rick. Well done !!!! I think that you may have cracked this mystery wide open.

The article on the dog tags belonging to Robert McCullough piqued my interest and I did a little armchair sleuthing. I found a man by that name who passed away in 2009, served in the US Army, received a purple heart, Silver Star and Bronze Star. he lived in the general area of Fairfax and has a duaghter who lives in Fairfax VA. Might be worth looking into. I have attached the link to his obituary. Rick http://www.gettysburgtimes.com/obituaries/article_dcff8aa0-0d67-592f-8209-7fb6e7f828ed.html Gary,
