I imagine I’ll be going against the grain on this, but why not just have another personalized dog tag added to the chain, and leave the government-issued tags alone?

The information on the dog tags is standard from one to the next; the practice of putting Bible quotes on them is relatively new.

If the tags are government-issued (as they are), then why demand that a secular government put a recognition of someone’s religious beliefs on government property?

Just did some research:

I do not think this is about government issue tags.

You can order a Shield of Strength dog tag with your service emblem on one side of the tag.

The law suit demanded the Services not to allow the Shield of Strength to use service emblems on their product.
