I found this article about marines getting tattoos remembering the dead. The last picture has a mrine getting a tattoo with SAINT 4-2-2006. Just though I'd share this.

The anniversary of Marine Cpl. Brian R. St. Germain's death in Iraq was approaching, and Gunnery Sgt. Jason Alderman was making sure he would never be forgotten. He was getting a tattoo in his honor.

The design was one that Alderman had chosen after looking at a Marine-themed website, grunt.com. The 11-inch tattoo being permanently inked on his left calf, near his shrapnel wound, included a Marine knife, the Marine eagle, globe and anchor emblem, and the inscription "SAINT 4-02-06."

Alderman, who is based at Camp Pendleton in California, said he wanted to show the tattoo to St. Germain's parents to assure them that their son would be remembered.

Thanks Kardain.

Anyone think they might be able to get in touch with Gunny Alderman, to see if he would mind sharing a photo of the tattoo?

I'll see if I can track him down, but it might take some time.

Awesome.

Thats really awesome of him.

that is really cool. i never knew Saint, but some people leave an impression on everyone they meet, guess he musta been one of those people.

IF I could bug a few of you to do this, could you e-mail the author: tony.perry@latimes.com and ask if he can get us a released file photo of the tattoo for SAINT, or if he could get someone in touch with Alderman?

I want to see what this tattoo looks like, and if Perry can't do it (for whatever reason) I want to ask Alderman if he could give us a photo of it.

Thanks folks.

I'd really appreciate it if a few JBO'ers could just fire an email to the story author and ask if he could release a picture of the tattoo or give us a way to get in touch with the lad getting the tattoo for SAINT.

I hate to repeat myself on this, but I'd appreciate it for no other reason than it's be a good thing to add to the In Memoriam thread on the front page.

Thanks lads and ladies, if nothing else, I really appreciate your help on this.
