It`s called "dog tags". You can get a custom one pretty much everywhere where such things are sold.

EDIT: Here you can get an authentic set for 7.5 euro from a military store: http://shop.oragie.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=1227

It's called a "dog tag". You shouldn't have any trouble finding a jewelry store or some such place that will make you one.

Actually it's called "identification tag", dog tag is colloquial.

In Poland we have interesting name of that thing.
It's called "nieśmiertelnik", what means something that is everlasting, immortal.

If you're a civilian then wearing a dog tag makes you a douche. Simple as that.
