The thing that got me thinking about the dog tags was little kids might not be able to get a bracelet. Children are often the most patriotic Americans. Very often kids also have an affinity towards military type things so I just thought that could be a way for them to show support at low cost. Something like that could quickly become a cult item though, so you'd want to think carefully before selling them at cost. You might want to make a few pennies per item at least in case demand became very high. I mean, if every American suddenly wanted one- that's a heap of dog tags.

As you probably know, id tags are cheap and require zero skill to make. The machine is basically a beefed up version of one of those old plastic label makers (the ones that looked like a gun with an alphabet wheel on the top)but dead simple to use. The machine itself could perhaps be obtained cheaply from a military installation (perhaps an old one).

A great idea, I will look into the cost of a machine tomorrow. Probably find one in the GSA cat. or at a local GI store, maybe the US Cav store would have one. This is still in the baby stages and I don't care what anyone else has done, this could be an FR thing and we could raise a lot of cash doing it for the families. Keep those ideas coming but at some point I am going to need volunteers to get all these ideas into motion. You want to check on the dog tag idea and I will get on the bracelets?
