Oscar Glomb served with the 36th Infantry Division and landed at the Bay of Salerno in 1943. He was wounded in a June 1944 battle near Gavorrano.
Glomb died in 1998. His son says he never forgot about his dog tags.
Retired Italian police inspector Daniele Bianchini found the tags, a ring and a medallion while practicing his new hobby on the old battlefield. Bianchini asked to keep one of the tags and sent the rest of the items to Glomb's family in Texas.
Glomb's 85-year-old wife Dorothy calls it a miracle to have the items back and says the family is thankful.
