Abdallah Igram served in the US Army from 1943-1946 and fought in World War II in the Pacific Theater.

"Abdullah Igram, of Cedar Rapids was sent to fight the Japanese in New Guinea during World War II. She recalled the story when he was asked what letter he wanted on his dog tags: “P” for Protestant, “C” for Catholic or “J” for Jewish, in case he died and would have to be buried.

He was told he could not have an “M.”

On his way to war, she said, he prayed to God that if he lived, he would make it so any man or woman would be able to have an “M” on their dog tag if they wanted one. He did live, and he eventually wrote to President Eisenhower. He got a letter back. There would be an “M.”
