As I said, we have passed 179,000 sent tags. Along the way I have met some incredible people and heard some amazing stories! I have adopted the attitude that Some give all and some don't give at all. I have met parents of 4 fallen Soldiers/Marines now and can't even imagine what they go thru. I do know that the picture tags we give them sometimes provide a tiny bit of comfort to the families. More than anything both tags let the military and their families know that someone cares. If you think about it, that is the most important thing, knowing someone else cares.
We are working with the Patriot Guard in So. Cal, some in Oregon and some in Michigan. They are starting to get tags for the missions they go to. They help support the dog tag project while doing so. Like I said, we have met some amazing people along the way!
America Supports You won't put a link to us on their site because they say "We don't fit in"
We will keep connecting hearts one tag at a time. Thank you for helping us do that.

Thanks John, I appreciate the kind words. As I'm selling off the equipment, each day is a little tougher than the one before.
Yes, the Idaho connection did finally come through. Unfortunately, they embarrassed themselves with their offer and therefore are not in the picture.
