We sell authentic military customized dog tags to both the military and the public. These are the real deal. All American made unlike many of my competitors online. I have sold many to our brave soldiers. Yes, we sell direct to our military when their machines are down, or they just don't have them available, or when they want them fast. We have and use surplus U.S. military machines bought from the U.S. Department of Defense, the DOD, at surplus auctions!!!! These are custom tags so your info will be embossed on the tags! Therefore, once you purchase the tags, you must email mail me your text. The format is below: line one: 15 characters line two: 16 characters line three: 16 characters line four: 16 characters line five: 15 characters Also, a space counts as if it were a character! Thanks, Rob
