Good afternoon. I am seeking a pattern for the Marine Devildog. Do any of you know where I can get one?
Thanks---Bill

Bill,
Do a Google for tattoos and then refine your search.

Hi Bill,
I am a former Marine Devildog and only live a few miles from you up here in LaPorte, you can come and take a pic. LOL Just kidding, not positive but I think if you go to www.sgtgrit.com you'll be able to find something to help, its all Marine stuff.
Semper Fi,
Dan

Thanks for the responses. I'll get busy and see what I come up with.

I was a Navy Corpsman. I spent 11 months with the Navy in med. training and then the rest of my four yrs. with the First Marine Airwing, including 15 months in Nam. The experience there finally ended me up at as a 100% service-connected vet. Actually I am currently listed as 130% disabled and that is going to move to 160% with the effects of Agent Orange I am dealing with Parkinson's and Peripheral Neuropathy. I don't have Diabetes as many with PN have.

Anyway, thanks for your responses. Now, to work to find the right devil dog.

Oh! I spent so long with the Marines that when they play "Anchors Away," my response is, "Say What!?!" Semper Fi.

If you go to any website about the Marine Corps, you will find a picture of a bulldog dressed in Marine clothing. I cannot remember all the details, but the Marines have been referred to Devil Dogs for a long time. It has to do with their combat tenacity.

Great sense of humor. I served in the Navy for about 11 mos. and then spent the rest of my four yrs. with the Marines and so glad I did.
