JJ’s Star Spangled Salute: A Lost Ring Returned 54 Years Later

Today we salute Marine Veteran David W. Lorenzo. David served in Vietnam as a Marine fighter pilot.  He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1964.  About 6 years after he graduated he was playing golf in Uniontown Pennsylvania when he lost his class ring.  That was over 50 years ago.  So, imagine his surprise when he got a call at his home in Pensacola, Florida from Michael Zenert. A few weeks ago, Michael was golfing at that same course when he found the ring and with the help of the internet, he tracked down David, who thought the ring had been lost forever. This year is the 60th anniversary of Lorenzo graduating from the Naval Academy. Zenert says he plans to go to Pensacola in October to meet Lorenzo face to face and give him back his ring. Thank you for sharing this amazing story and David, THANK YOU for your service.
