Fox News
The FBI says it has returned 22 artifacts to Japan after a Massachusetts family found them in the personal effects of their World War II veteran father.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"This case highlights the important role the public plays in recognizing and reporting possible stolen art," said Jodi Cohen, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division. "We’d like to thank the family from Massachusetts who did the right thing in reaching out to us and relinquishing these treasures so we could return them to the people of Okinawa."
The FBI said that last year, the family discovered the artifacts while going through the belongings of their late father, a World War II veteran who had never served in the Pacific Theater.
