"Before I deployed to Afghanistan, I placed a Shields of Strength Dog Tag, engraved with Joshua 1:9, on each of my daughter's book bags, one on my wife's car key chain, and one onto my Government Issued ID Tags chain. We made a commitment that whenever we saw the dog tag we would pray for each other. It was a special way for us to stay connected. I am now retired from the Army, yet I still wear Shields of Strength Dog Tag Necklaces. I give them to members of the Armed Forces, First Responders, their family members and anyone I meet. God's Word strengthened me during the most difficult times during combat, training, and it continues to strengthen me daily. God's Word on a simple piece of metal is powerful and serves as a physical reminder of His love and His promise to will never leave us or forsake us." Colonel David Dodd, US Army Retired
