ROBINSON RICHARD R – U.S. ARMY DOG TAG

I found this dog tag in Vietnam, in an area that once had a strong American military presence.

The Vietnam War brought a mix of soldiers. Some were drafted, others were part of the Regular Army.

This tag carries the name Robinson Richard R.

U.S. Army. Service number 55781477. Blood type AB. Roman Catholic.

The marking RA means Regular Army. It usually indicates a soldier who enlisted rather than being drafted.

Dog tags were worn at all times and were essential for identification in the field. Each detail had a purpose.

Finding a tag like this raises questions about the person behind it and the path that brought it here.

This is an authentic piece. It is not a reproduction.
