Why ID Tags are really great ?

Some people might jump the conclusion saying this is just another boring article about ID Tags. I can assure you it's not.

ID Tags are one of the great inventions and it seems that they never get old. Maybe for some of us it's hard to believe, but they were worn at least as far back as ancient Sparta.

An ID Tag is the informal name for the identification tags worn by military personnel, but not only the army should wear these tags.

Suppose that one day, you get involved in an accident and loose your conscience. Who will be there to say that you are allergic to some medications? The ID Tags you are wearing. Maybe you don't care enough about yourself, but you will probably want to use an id tag for your kids. I mean, think about it, these pieces of metal can be real life savers.

Now let's imagine something more optimistic. You want to give a very romantic present to your girlfriend but don't know exactly what? Hmm ... A teddy bear ? Come on, everybody does that, but you can do better. The tag will do the job again. Just choose the right shape and size and personalize it with words from your heart. Believe me, this kind of present will be noticed.

You have a pet and you want to take care of him as much as possible. Get a dog tag for your animal friend and put precious information for him just in case he ever gets lost. You can write the pet's name, owner's name and address, telephone numbers (day and evening), medical problem requiring medication, veterinarian's name and number and so on. Most humane societies and rescue organizations recommend that dog tags be on a buckle-type collar rather than on a slip collar, because the former remains more securely fastened around a dog's neck when slipping through a fence or being held by a stranger.

ID tags are one of the best way to uniquely identify a sport team. No matter if we are talking about baseball, football or soccer, using a tag with an image as logo or meaningful words is the perfect way to reveal the team spirit and make its members proud to wear such a mark.

I knew a teacher who brought id tags for the entire class, just to show her appreciation to the little students. You can imagine their faces. They will never forget this moment.

And I can think of a lot more situations where an ID Tag can be very useful. Not to mention that, some people are just being cooler wearing a tag. I'm really not the fashion type of guy, but this is the truth.

Now I think I've made my point clear. ID Tags are really great and everybody can use them.
