Well first you have your last name then first name and middle initial, then you'll see US unit number and serial number the last three numbers normally represented the last three numbers of the soldier/grunt's S/S, then your blood type and last line stated the religion you practice. We usually had two tags one went back to the states with your body or whatever was left of it and the other tag went to the unit leader along with your last wishes notes or letter to your love ones back at home. We were packs of hunting dogs for sure.

Did they jam dog tags in the teeth oF dead soldiers in Vietnam war?
Dead GIs yes. Best way to secure the tag: 1. Place in the mouth 2. Tag can't be lost or misplaced 3. Tag can be easily found 4. Tag can be positively identified to that particular corpse Men in the field do not always have a string to tie the dog tag to the body. In addition, in battle, while dragging dead men, uniforms have a tendency to COME OFF while dragging the body. Which is why when viewing dead bodies in Vietnam on television or book photos you will see many of the corpses appearing to be nearly naked. Their clothing (uniforms) were ripped off during first aid procedures (finding the bullet hole/shrapnel hole, then trying to patch it up) then further ripped away during the dragging process to the choppers or LZ (landing zone). Dog Tags were often tied to the jungle boot's boot lace; one tag per boot. Boots would survive alot better than flesh and cloth. So naked dead torn up pieces of flesh, if they still had a head (and mouth) then yes, place the dog tag in that hole (mouth).
