Veteran’s lost wedding ring finds its way back to him in unusual manner
The couple found the ring in a back door panel and traced it to Roger Reese through paperwork, then returned it after a local music event.
On November 3, Fred Ambuehl and Vickie Ambuehl returned a lost wedding ring to 85-year-old Air Force veteran Roger Reese, discovering the jewelry while cleaning a used Ford Escape they had purchased.
Reese had lost the ring a few months ago, believing it had fallen onto the floor of his former vehicle, though several searches came up empty.
While cleaning the Ford Escape, which had 2,300 miles, Vickie found the ring tucked inside a back door panel; Fred identified Reese using paperwork in the glove compartment.
After the reunion, Reese gave the Ambuehls his replacement ring as thanks. Fred told him, "Let's put this back on your finger where it belongs."
The Ambuehls will present a $500 donation to the Bemidji Veterans Home on November 23 during a music show, paying forward the generosity of their discovery.
