You have made me delve into my high school Latin Steve! "Memento mori," or "remember you must die,"
While serving in Vietnam some armored units had a somewhat similiar paint emblem on there vehicles. The duality of the tat...Meant to scare the enemy BUT I doubt many knew the "duality" of the symbolism the "tat" tried to imagine...good and evil. The "image" was supposed to invoke fear. Pretty deep for infantrymen on armored units.
Nice catch!
