Vietnam Veterans Dog Tag Memorial in Chicago

At the Harold Washington Library in Chicago is a new art installation called “Above and Beyond” featuring over 58,000 replica dog tags — one for each American soldier killed in the Vietnam War. The dog tags, each hung one inch apart, are suspended from the ceiling from a 410-square-foot rectangle. Each dog tag lists the soldier’s name, military branch and date of death. Nearby is a touch panel display that allows visitors to look up a veteran's name and find generally where the soldier's dog tag is hanging. It is the only memorial other than The Wall in Washington, D.C., that lists every individual killed in Vietnam.

  1. Hi there! I've read many posts about dog, and I can tell that yours is very valuable.  The best dog tags are those that can offer durability and excellent utility for its owners. This means that the tag should be able to withstand a lot of wear and tear as well as maintain the readability of its content even after a long time of use. See more http://dogsaholic.com/care/best-dog-tags.html
