Memorial Day
The Rock
There's a guy down in central Iowa who, for the last ten years, has painted the local "graffiti rock" with some pretty neat murals. Sunday a bunch of us trekked the 180 miles down there to see the 10-year anniversary of Bubba painting the Freedom Rock. Pretty neat, actually. The Iowa Army National Guard was there with the Orange County Chopper that had been made for the Guard. Then they started talking about "large hail and tornadoes," so we flew back up the Interstate 'bout as fast as you safely can on cruisers in a hard sidewind.
Pictures follow:

Excellent and poignant as always, sir. Keep on fighting the good fight, which actually begins after the people who were told they were "fighting the good fight" get home.
wow, i got chills when i thought about the sound of all those dogtags
Wonderful. If only those in power had to read all those names.
At least you didn't have to contend with "reverend" Phelps desecrating the ceremony as we did here in Stuart, Florida where we're all grateful to the good bikers of South Florida for showing up in large numbers to put these slimeweasels in their place.
Sometimes I'm very proud of my fellow Americans.
