Dublin CHP Search for Owner of Veteran's Burial Flag, Photo Found on I-580 in Livermore

LIVERMORE (CBS SF) -- The Dublin office of the California Highway Patrol on Thursday asked for the public's help finding the owner of a burial flag and a photo of a veteran found along I-580 in Livermore.

UPDATE: Family Reunited with Father's Lost Burial Flag Found by Dublin CHP

The burial flag that appeared to be the type provided to veterans was found in a wooden box with a photo of a man in uniform near Isabel Avenue. Authorities didn't say when the flag was found, but noted that the lost item had not been claimed.

Authorities posted their plea on the Dublin CHP Twitter account along with two photos: one showing the veteran's burial flag and a photo of a soldier and a second close-up of the man's photo.

"We hoped someone would claim this valuable property but no luck…yet," the post read.

The post went on to say if the man in the photo "is your family member or friend" to call the Dublin CHP office at 925-828-0466.
