I call BS on this...my feeling is this guy is trying to swindle cash and, if he indeed has the dogtag of a "Samual", to just send it to you so you can research the family. Red flag on this....just my opinion.

I hate to be a cynic, but you're probably right on this one. I should have put up a red flag when he asked for money.
Thanks!
