Can't believe this was done by a teenager!!

Every year, for the last nine years, a talented artist, Ray (Bubba) Sorensen II, has done a Memorial Day tribute to our servicemen and servicewomen, both past and present, with a stirring tableau painted on a large granite boulder which stands next to Highway 25. The huge granite boulder came out of the nearby Schillberg Rock Quarry and it weighs approx. 56 ton (50.8Mg) and is 12 ft (3.7m) high.

This is my favorite from 2003.  This flag looks draped over, but it's actually painted on.Rock-2003b flag

Click here and see pictures Bubba has painted from every year since 1999!

God Bless our servicemen and servicewomen and God Bless American.
