Dog tags make final journey home to WWII veteran

Raymond Odom, 93-year-old World War II veteran, attends a presentation held in his honor at Arbor Rose Assisted Living Facility in Farmerville, La., Feb. 2, 2017. Odom, an 8th Air Force airplane sheet metal worker, lost his dog tags overseas during the war. In May 2016, his dog tags were discovered in England, and sent to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., where they were presented to him by the 8th Air Force commander, U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Thomas Bussiere. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Erin Trower)
