Simon Lerenfort Posted July 15, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2018 Like the stripes badge made from the copper penny and the joke dogtag, we tend to think of these being made later during the Vietnam war, but shows that even a generation before the soldiers could get bored and needed to let off steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggummup Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted July 15, 2018 I understand "Stars and Gripes" was a comedy/ variety show that performed as part of the USO during the war. Do you think this tag could be related to that show or group of performers? btw- Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted July 15, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 15, 2018 Neat little piece. My guess is that it was made for a helmet liner. My 2-cents. Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QED4 Posted August 9, 2018 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2018 I think the dog tag is actually a property tag that was attached to a set of keys or a piece of equipment that belonged to the Stars and Gripes show that if they lost they wanted back. It dose say "Please return to Stars and Gripes" what else could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
