Default Dog Tags On Boots

Many of us would put one of our dog tags on the laces of one of our boots. The reasoning behind this being that if you were dismembered by an RPG, mortar, booby trap, etc., it would increase the chances of most of you being properly identified. Not an unfounded concern.

So, did any of you do this? Was this unique to VN, or was this a carry-over from WWII or Korea? I don't remember being told about this in AIT.
