The ties that connect us all are much stronger than they first appear.

For proof, look no further than the story of a young boy from Medina, Ohio, who came to possess a piece of a Texas family's past.

In July, 9-year-old Lenny Aydemir got a special visit from his uncle from France. He brought with him a set of World War II dog tags that had been found by a family friend more than 2 decades ago, News Net 5 reports.

According to Yahoo Shine, Lenny's uncle received the tags 10 years ago, and hadn't been able to find the family they belonged to.

FULL story AND video at link.
