My late father had a bulldog in a WWI style helmet with USMC below it on forearm. He srved from 1943 to 1965.
My husband may be the only navy vet who managed to make it without getting a tat.
He tried. He and a buddy set out in San Diego to find a tattoo place they heard was really cool.
Fortunately, they were a few sheets to the wind and couldn’t locate the joint.
