Army Captain Russell Rippetoe was killed on April 3, 2003 when the enemy detonated a car bomb at a military checkpoint in western Iraq.

When they recovered Capt. Rippetoe’s body, they discovered that he was wearing an inspirational dog tag created by Shields of Strength, a family-owned company in Texas.

The dog tag was adorned with a Bible verse from the Old Testament, Joshua 1:9.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go,” the verse read.

I was mad in the 60's when the army insisted I MUST choose a religion to be put on my dogtags,so I chose "Heathen".

When they turned that down and issued me dog tags with "Protestant",I went into Fayetteville and had a set stamped out that specified "Heathen" as my religious preference,and wore them the whole time I was in the army.
