Robin Reid

The Marine

Rancho Bernardo, CA

This tough marine could have been fellow Padder Danny Barton’s Drill Instructor a number of years ago. Who knows? It would have taken this kind of leadership to shape up "The Kid" back when he was a recruit. Don't you think? LOL.

Seriously, I caught this dramatic look at a band concert this M/Sgt was conducting!! All I had to do was extract him from his background and add the American flag.


Semper Fi!

He is a Master Gunnery Sergeant. No finer man or fiercer warrior exists on this planet.
This is one of your best, my friend! BIG VOTE from The Kid!
