text: found wwii item in riverside ca ...........? homeless person handed me a small leather pouch with snap containing a metal st. christopher's cross and a plastic sc cross, the latter on a handwoven string necklace.  in the pouch is a note written long ago (per appearance) that says:  "john's given to him by a priest during w.w. ii (while captured)"   on outside of leather pouch are initials j.c. carved in.   anyone know a resource i can contact to see if an organization traces these kinds of things back to a family? try the vfw. veterans of forgien wars. they have a web site.
