I was contacted by a distant family member through Ancestry.com. This is what he said:
Hey Marion,
Sure getting the dog tags would be nice, I dont know if your closer to the family owner than me. I dont feel right taking them if you are. If I am closer then at least I can talk to my grandmother and uncles and they can give me phone numbers and I could actually talk to the oldest child of Charles U. Culmer and I could give the dog tags to him or her. I am not fimilar with that side of the family so it would be a great opportunity to get to know that side and a good reason. Regardless of what you choose just know that if you give them to me I wont be holding on to them very long. They really dont feel like they are mine to keep. I will be passing them to a closer family member.
Thank you always
Chris
