We know what you are thinking, how can anyone reunite someone with their arm 47 years after it was amputated? But this doctor held on to limb, pictured above, as a keepsake of the war.

According to Digital Spy, Dr. Sam Axelrad removed Nguyen Quang Hung’s arm during the Vietnam war in 1966.

Hung told BBC News: “I’m very happy to see him again and have that part of my body back after nearly half a century.

“My arm bone is evidence of my contribution to the war. I will keep it in my house… in the glass display cabinet.”
