My Name is Allen McBroom, AKA "Loco"  I was born and raised in Texas. 

I started out doodling with a pencil which eventually progressed into me taking art classes in college.  I have studied life drawing, and architechture.  I got started into air brushing because I wanted to start a hobby that I would enjoy when I retire.  I also got tired of seeing custom painted motorcycles and just wishing I could have a custom paint job without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

I am currently in the United States Marine Corps.  I have served for 12 years now as an infantry officer.  I  have delpoyed to Iraq twice, and I am currently working as an instructor at the Tactics Training Exercise Control Group in 29 Palms California.

I am honored to be working on this banner with such great artists.  When I first heard about it I never believed that it would happen.  But look at it now.

It is amazing to see such motivation from across the world for the military.  Not everyone believes in what we do but they support us as individuals.  So I say "Thank You" personally and for the troops who are deployed and in harms way.  They will surely appreciate the efforts you guys have put forth to make this happen.

Semper Fidelis and God speed
