When the show ended in 1983 with an episode written and directed by Alda, it attracted the largest U.S. audience for any TV show in history.
After receiving the dog tags, Alda realized that they didn’t carry his character’s name but the names of two men he thought had likely been real soldiers. Joshua Benesh, Heritage’s chief strategy officer, said the boots and dog tags have an “incredible” provenance since they have been with Alda ever since the series ended.
