Gunnery Sgt. Charlie W. Collins, with General Support Motor Transportation Company, 6th Motor Transport Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, provides a rider-less horse exhibition as part of the unit’s support to the 51st annual Paris Rodeo Aug. 7. This year’s rodeo was dedicated to Sgt. Hoskins, a Paris resident who lost his life during combat operations in Afghanistan Aug. 6, 2009.
