An Outstanding Work of Patriotism

Take a minute to look at the photos below.  There is a huge rock near a gravel pit in 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.  cid_cfbba050e1824632b2d059fdcb366591jimhome.jpg

As you can see, it is quite an impressive sight.  Be sure to scroll down 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 is actually painted on the rock too.  The artist is a local painter named Ray ‘Bubba’ Sorenson. Few Americans even fly the flag any more.  I have one at home and at my office that flies 365 days a year.  How about you?
