WIESBADEN, Germany – Local German Simon Krieger-Pleus discovered a pair of World War II U.S. military identification tags during a nature walk through the prominent trails in July.

As the eldest son of the Krieger-Pleus family approached the object, “the silver chain could be seen on the surface and then was dug up,” he said.

Krieger-Pleus knew it was a U.S. dog tag and that, “it was a very personal and a special treasure," said his mother, Petra. "He didn’t want to withhold this from the Soldier's Family.”
