Dog tags make final journey home to WWII veteran

U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Thomas Bussiere, 8th Air Force commander, takes a photo with 93-year-old World War II veteran Raymond Odom during Odom’s dog tag presentation at Arbor Rose Assisted Living Facility in Farmerville, La., Feb. 2, 2017. Odom was assigned to the 8th Air Force during WWII, and was presented his dog tags that were misplaced in 1945. The dog tags, found in England, made their way across the pond to Barksdale Air Force Base to be presented to Odom during an 8th Air Force 75th Anniversary official ceremony.
