Cited from Alain Batens
Were civilians ever issued Dog Tags?

- School districts nationwide outfitted their students with inexpensive Dog Tags as a civil defense measure
- The Dog Tags were most commonly stamped with the child's name, address, date of birth, phone number and religion for final rites
- The effort was promoted by the Federal Civil Defense Administration in posters, pamphlets, films and radio segments
- Educators also contemplated tattooing children, but decided against it because the markings wouldn’t be legible once their skin peeled off after a nuclear blast
