Hey guys,
My Uncle Larry sent this bulletin to his family and friends on myspace and I'd thought I'd pass it on the community here as well to keep it going.
Here is the original message body:
Before you read this, realize that I am passing this message on from a Veteran of the US Army- I didn't write this. This is Intended for other veterans or currently serving in the military that may be active or lurking here. Also, I assure you that his tags are tucked close to his chest, not danglin' in the wind. One last note: if you didn't serve, don't wear tags..

"Hello to one and all! This weekend I happened to find my old dog tags that I wore while in the Army from 1971-1974. I haven't seen them in years! While looking at them, I started to think about my time that I served my country with pride. This led me to thinking about the present conflict and those who are serving the United States. I made a decision that I would wear my old dog tags, and not take them off until the troops come home! I also issue those veterans who still have their tags from previous service in the military to do the same! If you can, find your tags (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) and start wearing them in honor of those who are now serving and have served in the various areas around the world. There are far too many who have had to make the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. Let us honor one and all. It would be great if you would like to to take part in this small, yet heartfelt gesture to those wonderful defenders of our freedom. Take me up on my challenge! Thank you one and all! Larry H. United States Army (1971-1974)."
Thanks for looking,
Ivan
