Don't know how often you hear it, but to everyone that served, thanks tremendously for the sacrifices. Thank you for serving!!!

Yup, still got them. Still caked in mud since I took them off 12 years ago.
On a related note I had a SGTMAJ used to say "You hear that jingling when I walk, that's not my dog tags."

My mom has my bootcamp originals. I ended up with a couple of other sets through my career and each of my sons has a set and I still have a set.

I didn't serve...chickened out before signing the papers...one of my biggest regrets in life. My dad served and still proudly carries one on his keychain. I can vividly imagine the sound it makes as he picks up his keys.

Still wearing them, ready to retire them but Household 6 won’t let me.

The off base commanders can be persuasive!

They are my go-to-war tags, and they sit on a shelf in our living room next to my go-to-war flag. They have gone with me everytime over the last 18 years.

The dog tag I had laced into my boot in Iraq they cut out for me when they cut my boots off is on a chain with my Army ring hanging on my wall.

Still got mine, sitting next to my original set of wings. Also carried an extra set taped together in my flight suit shoulder pocket. Dogtags are required equipment for check rides and you never knew when you'd get some a$$hat that would try to down you because you forgot them.

I haven't seen mine in decades now that I think about it...no idea how or when I lost them.
