Peter Mathews has kept a Vietnamese soldier's diary since in 1967. Now he's trying to return it to its owner.

"Found a north Vietnamese diary, 93 pages, November 1967 during the battle of DakTo on hill 724 while with the 1st Cav. Would like to find relatives and return it," Mathews, a 77-year-old U.S. veteran from New Jersey, wrote on his Facebook page late last month.

In an interview with North Jersey, Mathews said he’s had the notebook for 56 years.
