Army Tells Dog Tags Company: Take Jesus Off Our Logo

ABC News reports:

The Army is threatening to pull its logo from replica dog tags made by a third-party company unless it removes biblical references from the tags. It stems from a trademark issue with the Army.

The tags are made by a private faith-based company, Shields of Strength, sold on military installations across the country. In recent months the company sold a replica tag featuring the 82nd Airborne Division logo accompanied by a Bible verse, with Joshua 1:9 inscribed on the back of the dog tag.

The Army’s trademark agency has taken issue with the inclusion of the verse, calling on the company to remove all biblical references from products featuring the licensed Army logo.

The company being represented by the anti-LGBT legal group First Liberty, which has accused the Army of hating Jesus because they are protecting their trademarked logo.
