On Memorial Day, a friend in Rochester NY sent me this story and these photos. I can’t think of a better way to recognize our Veterans on Independence Day than to share them with you! Thanks to the Sorensen Family and thanks to Paul Hauler for forwarding them to me!

Happy Independence Day, folks!

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 its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely  undisturbed. (The flag is actually painted on the rock too.) 

 

 

 

 

 And here’s the artist, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen. Awesome work, Ray! Thank you! 

God Bless America and our soldiers and vets!
Pass it on.
