Military Dog Tags and Identification
Why we buy dog tags & why it is important to us to collect them
Dog tags and similar forms of military identification worldwide often go overlooked. Even though a dog tag is just another piece of field gear issued to a soldier, there is a name or number behind it, and often a story. Dog tags are arguably one of the most important pieces of personal field gear a soldier has with them during their service. Unfortunately, like many historic items, the stories often get forgotten.
We buy dog tags and military identification for this reason; we spend many hours a week researching individuals to uncover their service history to recreate their "story". Doing so allows us to write and publish their stories on our Virtual Museum section of the website to preserve these stories and gives others the opportunity to enjoy as well.
Collecting dog tags and military identification also lets us have the opportunity to study and research them aside from preserving just the stories. This allows us to give back to the community to provide useful information, to help decode and understand information found on them. This can be found in our ever-growing reference library.
We care greatly about our collection, and we take great measures to ensure our collection is archived in the most practical manner but with museum grade materials for long lasting preservation.

Why do we treat all dog tags equally?
That's a question of simple respect
Soldiers from all countries deserve respect for their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice. They put their lives on the line to protect their country and its citizens. Soldiers are often away from their families for long periods of time and endure harsh conditions. They are trained to be disciplined, courageous, and selfless. They are the backbone of any country’s defense system and play a crucial role in maintaining peace and stability.
It is important to remember that soldiers are not responsible for the political decisions of their country’s leaders. They are simply following orders and doing their duty. Who is right and who is wrong is not decided until the guns stay silent, and you can reflect on what happened with hindsight. It is also important to remember that soldiers are human beings with families and loved ones. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. And their stories are worth telling, more and more we lose veterans from the largest war in human history; who is going to preserve their stories? who is going to keep their memory and sacrifice alive?

WE TRY TO DO THAT
In conclusion, soldiers from all countries deserve our respect and gratitude for their service and sacrifice. We should honor their bravery and dedication to their country and fellow citizens. We should also remember that they are human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
