The WW2 U.S. Army Star of David Pendant is an accurate reproduction of the six-pointed brass pendant worn by Jewish U.S. soldiers during World War II.
This Star of David was often attached to standard U.S. Army dog tags, serving as a personal symbol of faith and heritage. Crafted from brass and designed to fit on the original issue ball chain, it faithfully represents the wartime originals.
While some soldiers wore the pendant openly, others kept it tucked under their uniforms. In both cases, it stood as a quiet testament to courage, conviction, and identity in the face of war.
Historische Context
Over 500,000 Jewish Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces during WWII. The Star of David pendant was distributed by military chaplains and the Jewish Welfare Board, complementing the “H” (for Hebrew) marking on their identification tags.
This small but meaningful item became a spiritual emblem amid global conflict and persecution, representing both faith and resilience.
