I would like to encourage all vets to wear their dog tags visibly today. We need to show the current generation how many of us stepped up to the plate when our county needed us.

I am trying to start a new trend with the wearing of our dotages. The response has been really great to this idea, Spread the word!

That's not a bad idea at all, Eric (but then you are usually filled with good ideas - IMO). I know mine are in the house somewhere - I'll have to see if I can find them (half the time I can't even find my backsides - on a good day - LOL).
