"GRUNT VET"
A PORTRAIT REFLECTING THE HIGH STRESS AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA OF WAR.
The art is a technique I have called "Mosaic Collage" since the first image that I created in 1976. It is the art of creating a picture by using hand ripped and torn pieces of paper that take the place of brush strokes. The art, to me, represents life's developmental process but also the way that the "self" fragments when confronted with highly stressful and emotionally traumatic experiences, otherwise known as PTSD. "Grunt Vet" is a self portrait standing on Foxtrot Ridge and is reflective of having already survived Operation Auburn, and twenty-three other named operations. It is what was left to rotate home and begin putting the pieces back together. It is more than a self portrait. It is my acknowledgement and tribute to Echo, 2/3, and "Grunts", the greatest men who ever walked a walk, sweat some sweat, and humped a hump.
FROM THE WEB MASTER:

Just before I traded in my old car this past Saturday morning I photographed the stickers that have been on its rear window for the past couple of years. The picture is attached.
As you can see from my stickers, I am the "Proud Parent of a Marine" and, as such, I am happy to say that after my son, Captain Lee Kindlon, served as Staff Judge Advocate with 2/6 in Fallujah in 2005-2006.

I have been making bird houses & other things to get rid of some extra wood that was left over from past house repair projects, thanks to the hurricanes here in Florida. It has kind of turned into a hobby.
