Nice. What do the initials on the tags stand for?

The NRO has created an excellent mission patch for the flight, which depicts an eagle wearing a dog tag with the initials "JLC." This is in remembrance of Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain, a Union commander who was awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism at the battle of Gettysburg, July 2, 1863. Chamberlain and his men held the Union Army's southern flank at Little Round Top..

The other tag, all I can make out is the letter D along with what appears to be a stem of another obscured letter. Is the other letter a T for Trump ? 😆
