Vietnam Veteran reunited with priceless keepsake
SOUTH KINGSTOWN â When Vietnam Veteran Joe W. Daniels lost his ring several weeks ago, he thought the keepsake was lost forever. With the help of a good Samaritan and social media, however, the memento thankfully found its way back into the right hands.
In October, South Kingstown resident Brian Roy had been running an errand at the Salt Pond Shopping Plaza when he stumbled upon the missing ring.
âI got out of the car and it was just there,â Roy said. âI knew it must belong to somebody.â
The United State Army ring, flanked by the words âVietnam Veteranâ and engraved with the initials JWD on the inside band, appeared to be well worn. In a small state like Rhode Island, Roy felt confident that he would be able to return the ring somehow.
