With the amazing help of my readers, Thomas Lilliard's family was found and the dog tag returned to them. Now Alex wants our help to find the family of Donald G. Watts whose dog tag photo and information is below. Let's send Donald's dog tag home!

This would make Donalds birthyear abt 1925
I found Donald this morning and spoke to him on the phone -- he was lovely! I've sent his contact information along to Alex so I assume the dog tags will be back with Donald soon :).
Another clue?

WWII Registry - Pfafftown is very near Winston-Salem as his tag says - info supplied by Donald G. Watts = still alive?
I suppose it's possible my comment early this morning did not make it through but I located Donald. I spoke to him on the phone this morning and put him in contact with Alex. The dog tags should be on their way to him very soon :).
That is Donald G. Watts from Winston-Salem, NC. He is my grandfather and, yes, he is still alive.
Great blog you've got here!
