Last Thursday, October 15, 2009, people got worried and curious when news came out that a six-year-old boy, not from Norwalk,Connecticut, got lost and was believed to be trapped in a helium balloon that soared about 60 miles eastern Colorado . This is truly no ordinary news as it involved the life of a child who probably doesn’t have any identification, such as a dog tag, thus it will be hard to locate him if ever he fell out of the floating balloon and needed to be located and returned safe back at their home.
What’s more interesting about this incident is that the family involved in it, the Heene family, is as well extra ordinary as they are storm chasers and science fanatic peeps that once appeared in the 100th episode of ABC’s “Wife Swap” This character of the family, especially that of the parents, made people a bit apprehensive regarding the truth of the incident. Doubts were more fueled when after numerous hours of ground and air searches, the 10 year old boy, Falcon Heene, was discovered to be hiding in a box in the attic of their house in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Speculations started to form that the non-wearing dog tag boy’s parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, might have intentionally facilitated the said event in order to promote their upcoming reality show. The police remained mum in the days that followed as they did further investigations about the said accusations.
Three days after the unusual news; police released a statement that the Heene’s Balloon story is proven to be a prank. Sheriff Jim Alderden, shared to reporters last Sunday that, “It has been determined this was a hoax. It was a publicity stunt.” He also added that while the investigation is still ongoing, there will be no arrest to be made at the moment. Heene’s lawyer, David Lane, said that he wants to shun from “the public spectacle and humiliation” of police men arresting the parents in front of their kids and assured that both Richard and Mayumi Heene will turn themselves to authorities if it’s already the right time.
Military tags have been around for as long as I can remember. It is a significant accessory of army men which serves them the purpose of identification and sometimes for medical reasons too. Nowadays, this necklace is not only seen on military officials but on any person who enjoys the idea of wearing it. Celebrities, fashionistas and teenagers are so hooked with the necklace. This useful and stunning bling has turned into one of hottest accessory of the moment. This is due to the fact that aside from looking really gorgeous, dog tags are special necklaces that can hold important meanings to the person wearing it. This unique accessory can also be worn by individuals belonging to a particular association to be the defining factor of their group in portraying their team’s message or characteristic.
Ball games are normally composed of people playing for the glory of being hailed as the best team in the league. We often see these athletes’s wearing the same set of uniforms but with different numbers on it to identify them from the rest of their fellow players. Several baseball athletes are now wearing what they call as team tags to put in more style in their looks. In addition, these silver necklaces can be imprinted with the player’s medical info so that when injuries take place, they can be easily treated with regards to their current health status.
Another group of people that enjoys the benefit of wearing team tags are those belonging in an organization. They can use the necklace to indicate their group’s name and the date it was founded. If they have a logo or quote that stands for their association, they can as well engrave it in the tag and utilize it to speak out of the advocacies they are supporting. When people take a glimpse of what they are wearing, they will instantly know that they are a member of such group. The necklace will be an inspiring piece of jewelry that will remind the member about their fight for a particular cause.
Teenagers are so fond of having cliques. It makes them feel more confident when hanging out with fellow teens they can relate to. To mimic their common attitudes, they often wear almost identical style of clothing and use similar accessories. One piece of ornament that will be perfect for group of teenagers are custom made team tags. They can personalize it according to what they like such as their favorite color, fancied shape and then embossed it with the name of their group. For sure, the necklace will make each of them stand out and their clique be known.
Being in a group builds a person’s ability to interact with other people and teach them the value of respect and cooperation. They may come from different walks of life but are untied with the same purposes and aspirations. A member who’s wearing their team’s symbolic necklace like personalized dog tags holds the pride and honor of belonging in the group.
