Here’s a picture of my latest Marine tattoo. Sgt. Kirby Whitsel 1978–1985

Gentlemen, These pictures were forwarded to my family as soon as I was done. This tattoo took 8 months of brainstorming. I come from a long line of heroes and service members. I don’t have the skin for them all but I can at least represent the two men who mean the most to me. My father as a man and as a Marine in Vietnam, my turn (twice) in the sands of Iraq and my best friend, my brother in Afghanistan. This small symbol is a representation of our bond and love of this country. Please display this on your website as proudly as I do. Thank you, SSgt Thornton Ben W. USMC read more

Well after seeing all of the Ink on your sight I figured it was time to go out and get another Marine Corps tattoo. I proudly served my time with the 1st Battalion 7th Marines in 29 Palms back in the Mid 90’s. Thanks And keep on fighting the good fight.

Sgt Grit, I have read your newsletter for about a year now both enjoy and anticipate every issue. I am a 61 year old Viet Nam Veteran, I spent 13 years in our beloved Marine Corp and never got a Tattoo. Well last week my son and my daughter finally talked me into getting one and I would like to share it with you, my “Brother & Sisters” and all of your loyal readers. My time was spent at H&S Bn, Support Co, MHE Plt, RVN, as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic at ASP1 behind “Freedom Hill” from Jan 1970 till Dec 1970. I would like to correspond with anyone that served there at the same time. Thanks for allowing me to post this on your excellent site. Keep up the good work and May GOD BLESS you and your organization and ALL of our troops who have or are now serving OUR Glorious Country. Semper Fi Louie W Goodner GySgt USMC (Unassigned) read more
