[StartQuote] Julie Not sure what you are looking for. The standard Dog tag consisted of Name, Serial Number, Blood Type, and Religion. The dog tags were made of stainless steel, but some were made from monel, brass, and even steel. You were issued 2 Dog tags which was suspended by a chain. I have several in the exhibit which have beaded chain, but some that have like a nylon chain. Most Dog Tags had a notch to the left cut into them, but I think this was due to the way they machined them. They have a hole punched into them for the necklace. The Dog Tags were considered part of your uniform, so you had to wear them, although you see many of the guys wearing no shirts with no dog tags, so I would suggest they might have had them in their pockets,. It's a good question to ask some of the veterans on the message board. [EndQuote]
