Bible Verses on Military Dog Tags

This country is blessed to have numerous businesses that proudly support the United States military and its service members. Shields of Strength (SOS) is one such business. Unfortunately, one organization in particular is deeply troubled by the fact that SOS sells religious products that also include the official United States Marine Corps ("USMC") emblem. In fact, this organization, which claims—ironically—to support religious freedom in the Armed Forces, sent a cease and desist letter to the USMC Trademark and Licensing Program Office, demanding that the USMC "immediately revoke and cancel the current approval for 'Shields of Strength' to continue using the official USMC emblem on any and/or all of its religious items for sale." Unfortunately, the USMC pulled the SOS license in response to the organization's complaint. In light of this, the ACLJ recently sent a Freedom of Information Act request ("FOIA request") to the USMC Headquarters to determine the basis for the USMC's decision.
