Vietnam War Civilian Dog Tag

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired a military issued dog tag for Maybelle Sacher. She was a Nurse working for USAID in the 1950's to 1970's. From the Foreign Service Lists published on the web she worked all over the world: in Libya, Ethiopia, Korea, Vietnam and probably elsewhere.


I suspect this dog tag was issued to her when she was sent  to Vietnam about 1969. She was stationed at Saigon and Can Tho in Vietnam until about 1972. The Military often issued dog tags to civilians when they worked in a war zone.


 The second  line reads: "USAID/ADPH". "USAID" Is United States Agency for International Development,  "ADPH" is Assistant Director of Public Health.


Ms. Sacher was born in 1911 and died in 1996. She worked for the Red Cross before going to work for the US Government.
