This will be my personal memorial to 9/11 and my experiences in the Pentagon. [...] I just happened to come across this at the Smithsonian about @Devious6 Quote Context: Col. Mark Volk was one of the brave Pentagon employees who helped save colleagues trapped in the damaged Pentagon. As an intense fire raged, Col. Volk ordered an evacuation and rushed from his office on the third floor of the D ring to the E ring to look for survivors. In recognition of his actions Col. Volk was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal. http://amhistory.si.edu/september11/collection/record.asp?ID=20 Edited August 16, 2016 by PinkUnicorn Gingerninja, SStu and oboogie 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=147#findComment-128837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious6 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I was asked to donate my uniform and original award from that day - never thought it would be featured as a part of the exhibition. The award was the original one I received. I honestly didn't want one - I did then and still do feel that I was doing what I should have done. It was my responsibility to protect and help others. After time, people who were there submitted a request to have the award upgraded - without my knowledge - and I was ultimately awarded The Soldier's Medal at my retirement ceremony a little more than two years later. That truly humbled me. Thanks for the kind words. It was my honor to serve and I am grateful to have been able to help that day. el twe, Gingerninja, a_beukeveld and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=147#findComment-128839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious6 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Since @PinkUnicorn found the Smithsonian link, I'll share the Soldier's Medal pictures with you. I don't think I've ever posted them on line before. The glare is the camera flash. It is awarded with two certificates - the award certificate as well as a narrative certificate. Most other medals only have the award certificate. I have them framed along with the eagle rank insignias that was able to recover from the locker in my office several weeks later and a picture of the Pentagon showing the destruction. polliwog, Bmore, SStu and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=147#findComment-128840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious6 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Met with my artist yesterday, put down a deposit and discussed the design again.

Huskey Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Hi, so I'm getting a free tattoo from an aprentice tomorrow who's trying to build his portfolio. All he asked of me is too tip him good. I don't know what I should tip him since it's free. This is the tattoo I will be getting. About same size and located the same as picture(Tricep area) Edited August 18, 2016 by Huskey Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=147#findComment-128888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 @Huskey that all depends on where you are located, what kind of shop it is and what kind of job he does. Given that you're asking this question at all prompts me to offer - I would tread VERY carefully, if at all. You're gonna wear his practice forever.

Literally one of the nicest days of the year. Nicest possible. I still remember it vividly too. I was working in a residential treatment center for kids. They were freaked out and we weren't sure how much to share- they had already endured more trauma than most people ever do. Enjoy the tattoo @Devious6 - nothing can change the past but we can always choose to control how we move forward.
