Dog Tag Return
Major Tim Dekryger, USMC (Retired)
​
Tim Dekryger and his father Bill were both combat Marines.
​
So, when on a trip to Vietnam they found weathered dog tags in a stall in Hue, they recognized their importance and collected as many as possible.
​
Two sets of those tags belonged to Marines we lost in the DMZ: Lance Corporal Lancaster Brown-Bey and Lance Corporal Clifton Spiller.
​
Concluding our Remembrance ceremony, we brought the dog tags of our fallen brothers home.
​
Read the story of the Dekrygers' dog tag recovery operation next.
