Origin
Frank Castle was serving his second tour of duty in the Vietnam War as a sniper. He was asked to hunt down a Vietcong sniper known as "The Monkey". A VC sniper who wore a monkey’s skull around his neck for good luck. Castle ended up being captured, but during his escape he tied a dead VC soldier to a tree and painted a white skull on his chest as a message to "The Monkey". He painted one on his own chest. He ended up killing "The Monkey" in a sniper duel in the jungle.

MAX Comic Books
Frank Castle had a vision of a white skull in his head whilst stationed at Valley Forge. This stuck with him for the rest of his life and spray painted it onto a t-shirt and always wore it throughout his mission. The skull symbolized his never ending war. It also served as a target to hopefully prevent a headshot.
