    Hello gentlemen!I'm a french architectural models maker.I'm 44 years old ,father of 2 childs,the women are saying i'm quite charming and their husbands say they used to say that to them too....I like red and white wine,garlic especially when it's stuffed with snails(or the opposite),camembert when it has reached the point of no-return,raw red flesh when it becomes black,i'm arrogant,pretentious,rude.To make it short,i'm a real french!
    My hobby is US history during WW2,and digged up artifacts.I do not digg my self cause as all the Frogs ,i'm the greatest coward ever seen(and i'm half Italian,can you figure out the result??),and your army forgot some delicate devices in our holly soil....As a member of a french digger forum,i'm knowed there as "the-guy-who-knows-a-guy-at-the-US-embassy-in-Paris",hahahah!In fact,some of my pals recently digged up some personal items your GIs have lost during WW2,and as these items are named,i'm trying to track the descendants in the US of A.The military attaché of the US Embassy in Paris proposed to help me and i think it's gonna meet an happy end.
    I'm posting some pics of the items.Some of you may have already seen them on others forums,i'm registered on various English sites.
    This is my deepest pleasure (beside some roasted frogs,and a bath a month....) to honour the memory of guys that fought for my country to recover its liberty.Please forgive my language errors,we are surely the greatest lovers in the world,but not the best in English...
    Have a good day to all,and keep on the good work.And may your troops come back safe from the lands of the bearbed people(like french troops ,by the way...)

    Could be.
    and yes, it's a nice move to try to return the dog tags.
    This being said, our forum is U.S. based but our members are from the entire world. Their are many Americans , but also Brits, Aussies, canadians, Germans, Finns, Norwegians, Japanese, Danes , Filipinos , New zealanders, Spaniards , Belgians, French, Swedes, Dutch, Irish and many more .

    What brings us together is our love of WW2 history and the English language is our communication tool.

    As mods , we have had a hard time to ban pejorative terms from this forum, so shooting yourself a bullet in the foot doesn't help to be honest. I know it's humor and I appreciate it, but I'm not certain all our members would.

    Seb, We've had some success in finding the previous owners of such items. I'll bet some of the guys here will be able to help you.

    What other info can you provide, such as units that may have been in the area?

    Also, maybe create a new thread with a more descriptive title, announcing your intent, such as "US Dogs Tags Found Normandy."
