National Constitution Center
Philadelphia, PA, United States
This dog tag was worn by Private John Schaffranek, a German-born draftee, while serving with the U.S. Army in France. Amid anti-German sentiment, he strongly affirmed his allegiance to his adopted country, allowing him to remain on the front lines. Approximately 18 percent of U.S. recruits were immigrants.
