Godlover Posted June 10, 2010 #1 Posted June 10, 2010 My neighbor and I took a 300 mile ride today and purposely stopped at this memorial rock. The kid paints this rock every year in memory of our Vets. One portion of the rock does not get repainted as it actually has ashes from some veterans in the paint. If you ever travel across I-80 in Iowa - turn south on highway 25 west of Des Moines - and the rock is about a mile south of the interstate on the east side of the road.
bryan52577 Posted June 10, 2010 #2 Posted June 10, 2010 Mark, That is Freedom Rock. Lisa and I have went to it the last 5 years. He changes most of it every year. What a cool thing to do! It is a must for us every year now some time after Memorial Day. People have put up a shelter and cleaned the area up as a result. Here is a link to it. Glad to see you could make it Mark. Bryan

Bryan Yeah Bryan - I should have put the link in my first post! Duh! I think Redbook did an article about him a month or two ago and all the TV Stations were there when he was painting. It is neat to see what he comes up with each year.
