What is the meaning of The Thin Green Line?
The thin green line on Shields of Strength’s cross and dog tag necklaces represents the color of army and border patrol field uniforms. The color is historical, traditional, and practical for the Soldiers and agents due to the requirements to blend in with the terrain and camouflage themselves. Shields of Strength thin green line necklaces are engraved with a paraphrased version of Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Why do Soldiers wear Cross Necklaces and Scripture engraved Dog Tags Necklaces?
The reasons are personal and often unique to the individual soldier. Men’s and women’s cross necklaces are most often a symbol of religious beliefs, cross necklaces are an individualized reminder of their faith, Christ’s crucifixion, and resurrection. Both dog tags and cross necklaces are often engraved with Bible verses that hold a private and spiritual meaning to the wearer. Shields of Strength designs many Christian cross jewelry pendants for men and women, including a wide range of dog tag necklaces.”
