A man in Italy unearthed a U.S. soldier's dog tag 78 years after the Battle of Anzio. The memento is back with the soldier's family in Gallia County.
GALLIPOLIS — Sitting on the couch inside the house where she grew up atop a hill in this Ohio River town, Jessica Varian’s eyes shine with unshed tears as she reads one more time the cursive words her grandfather scratched out on notebook paper.
“I take a last look back thinking how did I survive,” Waugh — Varian's grandfather who was drafted in 1942 and served with the — recounted decades later when he journaled about his war memories after he was well into his 80s. “This place haunts me to this day.” “My grandfather was so proud of being a U.S. Army veteran and of the work he and the soldiers did to liberate so many people. He lived his entire life honoring the military,” said Varian, a 34-year-old nurse from Gallia County — about 100 miles southeast of Columbus — who was incredibly close to her grandfather,“He talked about his military service every day. But you never saw the darkness or heard about the bad things he saw and endured,” she said.
Then in August, a devastating fire swept some of the acreage and cleared the undergrowth. He returned, and on Nov. 21 his metal detector got a hit.
