I think it is a very good Tattoo.But Tattoo artists get POed when you call it a Tat because that word means something else all together.Doesn't bother me just saying.Thanks for your service.

Excellant tat Cole.
My family has a long history. My great great grandfather served in the civil war. I found his name on the rosters.
My grandfather served in world war II, he was at the battle of the bulge.
At the bulge he was captured by the Germans twice, but both times managed to escape and evade.
He also served in Korea. He was decorated greatly for his service.
He retired a master sgt. with 28 years.
My uncle John served in Vietnam with the marines, he arrived in '65 and left in '66. He was supposed to be a sniper, but was instead made RTO.
My father put 32 years in the military, and retired a master sgt.
He came hair line close to going to Vietnam, but at the last minute the orders for his unit was changed and instead he was sent to Okinowa Japan.
He did serve in desert storm however.
I myself wanted to get in the service, but since I was diagnosed with scholiosis when I was 11 which is a curvature of the spine and it went on my medical record. They told me then due to having it I could never serve in the military.

As most know, tomorrow starts the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend and a young man from Citi Card told me something the other day that I wanted to share with Y'all.

I was getting him to change my address and phone number because we are moving and when we were thru I said:
"Thanks for your help and have a Great Weekend"
and he replied:
"Yes, but most of all a MEANINGFUL ONE!"

It made me realize how important it is to remember why we have the Holiday and remember the young men and women that have sacrificed so that we may do the things we love to do.

God Bless Our Troops and Our VETERANS - - - especially the ones who have passed on.

Slightly off topic but- Fly those flags! My wife is great about remembering to do this on our special holidays, show the support for our enlisted men and women. Slightly more off topic, I am staying at a gated fancy country club kind of place in Indio for a month for work, the guard house flies 3 flags, the American flag looks like helll, tattered terribly so I suggested in a firm way that this place should be ashamed of the way they display our flag and it needs to be replaced. I'll see if this happens, if not I am going to contact the association. This is not the first time I have done this, I am kind of a richard when it comes to the displaying of our flag.
