Michael Luchetta

 

Born: June 25, 1912

 

Death: February 1, 1990

According to sources his dog tag was found in the Old River Landfill in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The landfill closed in the late 1940s, the size of around 20 acres.

 

I don't know much about Michael, but what I do know is his army serial number states he was joined in one of the nine states listed; Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

I hope the new owner of his tag will give it a good home, sad it was thrown away. But pleased that it was found and his name gets a chance to be remembered as one of the greatest generation.

Yeah I agree, I wonder why someone may of thrown it away, but it makes me quite sad. However, it will find a good home.
