Civil War Marine
I sent you this Ingersoll family information last year and would like to add a correction and addition per a recent VFW magazine dated May 2013.
The correction was made in the article that you printed – rank Capt was actually Cpl. Per VFW magazine article "Boys In Battle" – Medal of Honor.

Golden Bear Platoon
At the end of the day at the induction center in LA they put all the guys from California on a bus to Sacramento. We were a Special Platoon requested by then, Governor of California, Ronald Reagan. We made a fast trip up, were in a Parade and then a bus down to MCRD San Diego. Off the bus, onto the Yellow Footprints and then the Hair Cut.

Memorial Tat
I got this Memorial Tat from a Vietnam Vet, who does tattooing on the side. I got out of The Corps in ’09 and wanted something to signify the way I felt returning home and after losing so many of my friends. Semper Fi! This is for all you Devildogs Past and Present!
WW1 War Poppies
Soldiers of often were found fighting in fields of poppies from grenades and artillery explosions that caused the seeds of poppies that bury themselves deep in the soil to come up and grow. Was the only form of life for a long time there.
My Moto Tattoo

Ripped Eagle, Globe, and Anchor
Finally got a moto tat four years after completing active duty. Told the artist I want an EGA ripping through me and this is what he produced. Great work and only took ten hours. Semper Fi from a CPL 2003-08.
