I have a bunch of family and dear close friends who serve in the military, and i want to get a tat to honor them and all the fallen men and women. Any suggestions?

You could google military things and see what takes your fancy .
A dollar bill, apparently.
Which answer is not intended to disparage your own patriotism or your friends and family who serve.
An american flag with an eagle perched on top of it?
A headshot of Stephen Colbert.
George Washingtons dentures.
A DVD copy of the ‘collateralmurder’ video.
I’d think you’d be honoring them more if you spent the time and money on something for them. Send a few packages, send photos from home, help theri spouse with baby sitting or cutting the grass. That shows support and thanks.
But that’s just my opinion.

Tattoos are the opposite of what they’ve done. They’ve been unselfish to the utmost degree. Plant a tree instead or donate the money to a memorial fund.
You could mourn only dead American soldiers and not all the soldiers and civilians killed by the American military. I guess that’s pretty patriotic.
How about a tattoo of an American soldier looking into a mirror and seeing a foreign soldier in the reflection?
An eagle, wrapped in an american flag. With a cross in the background.
Yellow ribbon has various meanings, but one of them is supporting our troops. I have seen them with an American flag adjacent to it if you want to be explicit in what the ribbon means. Back during the Gulf War many people I knew wore them to show support.
@Sarcasm Why a cross, what if she isn’t Christian? And many soldiers out there are not Christian for that matter. It seems exclusionary.

Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are atheists?
Bush: I guess I’m pretty weak in the atheist community. Faith in God is important to me.
Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?
Bush: No, I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
That’s why.

I encourage all atheists to leave America and come live in the real world. It will be the biggest ‘Brain Drain’ America has ever experienced.

A tat of four soldiers valiantly putting up the US flag.
I’m a veteran of the US Army, 4 years active duty and 4 years IRR. I had service during Desert Shield/Desert Storm and the Cold War in Signals Intelligence. If you want to support those in our military, be political and not in a knee jerk way but in an informed way. The best thing you can do for those serving is to insure that their lives are not put on the line for economic reasons, or for ego or to support democracy by supporting dictators (how does that compute?). Tattoos are only symbols just like words. If not backed by action they mean nothing.
If you insist on a tattoo, I agree with the suggestion of a peace symbol. If you want to support militarism and patriotism as the knee jerk reaction of the right wing whose idea of service to our country is a three martini lunch with a lobbyist from a defense contractor, then get a peace symbol in a set of cross-hairs.
How about national loo roll….. the flag could be printed on every square!
