A good friend of mine, Charley David, took the time to share theese photos with me, so I thought that I would share them with you.

I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing it's character many times.
A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight.

Be sure to scrolldown and check out the multiple photos. (all angles) of the rock.



I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too!













Here's the artist -- Ray "Bubba" Sorensen.



AWESOME Work, RAY...Thank you!

but... You may also be the world to one person.

I always check these kinds of pictures on Snopes and this one looks to be true. The whole story is on the above link and it's pretty interesting.


My rod and my reel, they comfort me.

Fantastic!!! Our Vets deserve nothing but respect and it's truly great to see them honored in this way. Thanks for sharing the pics and a double thanks to the young artist for creating the shrine.
