Chino – Chino local, Laurie Utter, has a heart of gold for our Veterans.  While perusing Facebook, she came across a post from the other side of the country, and she reached out to the Weekly News for help.

Rachel Farris, who lives in Saucier, Mississippi, posted the following information on her Facebook page:

“Ok Facebook world, I need some help. My grandpa found a United States Army service ring buried in the dirt at his farm in South Dakota. The name on the ring is Patrick J. Dierick. It’s a very old ring and he would like to find the owner – or at least the family to return it to. Please share this post so we can try to find the rightful owner or family member.”

Utter thought she might be able to help the ring find its way home

because somebody knows somebody who knows the owner.

“I just have a big place in my heart for our Vets and military men and women; they do so much for us and don’t seem to get much back,” says Utter.

There is a story on how the ring belonging to Patrick J. Dierick found its way to a farm in South Dakota, and both Utter and Farris are looking for answers.

“I just thought what a nice thing to do by finding him, or even a family member,” Utter continues.

The U.S. Army takes care of its own, and hopefully – as a collective effort – we will be able to return this U.S. Army ring to its home.  If you have any information about Patrick Dierick, or anyone who may know him, please contact the Weekly News via email at editor@anapr.com.
