About Us

How did it all start? The American Way. Hard work and dedication.
 
On Route 66, Slater discovered a rusted WWII dogtag machine. He asked the owner of the building if he’d be willing to sell. The owner told him that it had been sitting out there for more than 20 years, but if he could tell him what it was, he’d sell it to him. It took a lot of elbow grease and two cases of WD-40 to get it going.
 
In over 20 years of business, we have had a wide range of clients. Our tags have been used from everything from replacements to party favors to marriage proposals to movie props. It is our honor and privilege to continually bring the highest quality of standard through use of American made supplies. Our tags are and always will be stainless steel American made tags. Our specs are the same as those used by the United States military.
 
We proudly support our troops as well as law enforcement and other emergency personnel. Our family has a long history of men and women serving both in the military and emergency services. As an Air Force and Army National Guard veteran, Slater understands the sacrifices that these individuals make to protect our great nation and why they and their families deserve the very best.
 
We can only do things one way. The American Way. Our promise to you is that we will deliver genuine military tags made with American made supplies by a family that has served
