  Military Dog Tags - Bill Parker, presenter
  

  My presentation is geared towards learning. There is so much information in early Military Dog tags that can be very beneficial to researchers, you will learn how to read serial numbers, vaccination dates and even religious information. Through          research you will be able to learn unit information, battle history, and if particular soldiers were awarded a particular medal. My program will take you on a journey through American history from before World War 1 up through the Korean War time frame.

  Bill is Military Historian at the South Wood County Historical Museum in

  Wisconsin Rapids, WI, serves on the Wisconsin Rapids Historical

  Preservation Commission, is a collector of American Military memorabilia and a Civil War reenactor.
