GREENSBORO, N.C. — Robert Danze, a Terminix Triad employee, was completing a crawlspace cleanout in Greensboro, N.C., when he came across a metal crate of old war medals. After confirming that the crate did not belong to the homeowner, he posted the medals on Facebook, hoping the power of social media would help him in his quest to find the owner.
The crate contained a variety of medals and pins including: a pistol sharpshooter badge, rank insignia, a dog tog, a Marine Corps tie clip, and an identification card all dating back to the Vietnam War.
After just a few days on Facebook, the post was shared with the veteran's son, Donald Pressley, Jr. Donald Pressley Sr. served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.
The medals have since been returned to the family. Pressley Sr. is currently in the VA Medical Center in Salisbury and is in great condition.
