Title: Would like to start a new veterans trend.
Post by: Eric Krewson on November 09, 2010, 10:02:15 am

I would like to encourage every veteran wear his dog tags visibly on Veteran's day. We need to let the current generation know how many of us stepped up to the plate when our county needed us.

As a non-veteran, I heartily agree.  I would like to know who my heroes are and those whom I need to thank.

Alpha Co, 1st Plt 2nd squad 1st Bn 9th Marines, the Walking Dead. Sept.1966- May 1967
 My tags were the only thing I had left after they cut my utilities off to find all my wounds. I still have them, taped,strung on boot laces with a p-38 , and crusted with blood and the dirt of Vietnam. They are on a stone altar in my studio. One of the things in my medicine pouch that is always around my neck is a small bit of my dogtags.
Semper Fi,

I was able to get my idea printed in the local paper. walked through Lowe's, Walmart and Regency Mall to see if any other vets beside myself had their dog tags on. Didn't see a one.

Still think it is a good idea but we need to start spreading the word earlier next year, I bet it will catch on.

I know im a day late but I would like to say thank you for my freedom to all sevice men and women past and present who helped fight to keep our freedom. My dad spent 23years in the army, he almost died in special ops in se asia do to trip wire preloaded crossbows, after that he spent the rest of his army career in air defense artillery, my dad is my number one role model in life, I just wish more of my generation knew about veterans day.
