Freedom Rock 2015

[sc72]

Hello Friends, Saturday we decorated graves of Fallen Soldiers, then waited on word from my friends who went to check on a B6d down in St Louise for me, well turns out it was stuck, so passed on that one, at some point there will be another. Ok so today we drove over to Greenfield Iowa to see the New paint job on the Freedom Rock, to those of you who have followed my yearly posts of the Rock, know that he changes the paint scheme every year. To tell you the truth it's really Heart tugging to see grown Men and Women sobbing while looking at the Rock remembering their fallen relative or friend. In the 9th pic my wife is standing with Bubba Sorrenson, he is the gentleman who paints the Rock. #10 Bubba is mixing the cremains of a fallen soldier into Green paint that will be applied to the Helicopter. #11 Bubba is painting the remains of the soldier onto the Rock. #12 The man you see holding the baggy of cremains is the son of the Soldier who was just painted onto the Rock.

Wow, this is very cool. I hope he does paint all those other rocks--and gets compensated well for it.

Sometimes it's just a labor of love, a tribute to those who fight for an ideal.
So many Americans, so little America left........:sad1:
