Hello, I thought I’d post my question here as there are many knowledgeable people on this matter. Does anyone know what should be done when finding WW2 dog tags? As in locating next of kin. I wasn’t sure if there’s some type of database somewhere. My brother works construction and he found an old WW2 era dog tag in Salina, KS.

Made Dog Tags for my first Linux Festival coming up!
Hello! I've been developing West Virginia's Linux Festival and I made some themed humerous dog tags related to linux, affinity with command line text editors, GUIs (yes, I know KDE and GNOME are not all of them, but the majority of the Linux machines people will be trying out at the festival use those front-ends generally), and even some fun self hosted memes included, all branded with our event logo. We are trying to grow the movement of Linux, digital independence, privacy, true ownership, and more to truly own our technology. I am still new to planning a Linux Festival, and we have already got the green light to grow it next year with full support of the University. Any advice for growth is appreciated! Also, send me a DM is you are interested in a Dog Tag! submitted by /u/dj_raidar_vip to r/linux [link] [comments]

Would it be wrong/okay for me to wear my husband's dog tags?
So, I(28F) asked my coworker a army vet about this and it made me want to post this here. My husband (28) was in the military (Army) for almost 7years. He was discharged medically 100% disabled. This was very recent maybe a month or so after we got officially married. Since then I've been wearing his dog tags under my clothes. He himself encouraged it and likes seeing them when I take my sweater off from work. I think he likes seeing that I'm proud of him etc etc. Thought I was hesitant to do this at first because I don't want to give the impression of stolen valor. My coworker actually seemed a bit agitated about it himself but said that since he knew me and knew why I was wearing them he wouldn't get upset with me. I'm curious to all that have served. Would it be wrong for me to wear them? Obviously if I was asked I'd say they were my husbands and he likes that I wear them but I don't know if I should just not do it at all to help prevent any issues with other people. I'm not a huge fan of confrontation. TLDR: would it be okay for me to wear my veteran husband's dog tags? He's okay with it and encourages it but my coworkers things I'll upset people. submitted by /u/doubled-darst to r/NoStupidQuestions [link] [comments]
