My father passed away in June. He was in the 3rd marine division on Okinawa, and I really wanted to pay tribute to a great dad and an awesome human being.

Sarge, just wanted to send in a pic of my son's tattoo. After 3 tours in Iraq with 1/5 Marines, with the first ground unit into the war, second as a squad leader in Fallujah, and last time as a sniper in Ramadi, our sergeant is being rewarded with a couple of years off to complete his undergraduate degree under the MECEP program and will graduate as a 2nd Lt. He recently rewarded himself with this unique tattoo showing his committment to our Corps and his faith in God. We are quite proud of our Marine…Sgt. Clayton T. Anderson, 1/5 Marines. Semper Fi, J.

Attached is a picture of my husband's tattoo he recieved to honor the memory of his youngest son who died in Iraq on January 26, 2005. The tattoo was done mostly in freehand by the talented Chere' of Tapestry Tattoo in Roseburg, OR. She did such a beautiful memorial and we would like to share it with Sgt Grit and the readers. read more

Bud's First Tattoo at age 83. He is on the Left. I got mine a week before and he decided it was time to get his. My first one I posted Volume 6. Semper Fi. Tom Godwin.

My daughter’s school honored all veterans this past Veteran’s Day with a breakfast and school assembly. It’s amazing how all us Marines, from young to old; still show our Esprit De Corps! When asked to stand, we all shouted out with a blood curdling bark or Ooooooh Raaaaah! Gave me chills!!! So after being out for 12 years, I finally decided to honor our fallen brothers by getting some ink. First I decided to get the EGA from my high school buddy, Brian Berky, who is a great artist. A week later, Brian called and said he had a new idea of a piece for my back I might like. So, here it is. read more

I can't believe I made it through my years in the Corps without getting a tattoo, so here I am 8 years later with my first one (of many since I'm hooked now). Thanks to Vanessa at Holy Oak tattoo in Holyoke, MA for the awesome job she did. A special thanks to all the Marines out there serving our country, wherever they may be. Be safe and Semper Fi. read more
