First I would like to give a big THANK YOU to all of the men and women who gave their their lives to give us the freedoms that we enjoy everyday. I would also like to remember my Dad, who help make me into the man I was today. My Dad nevr did anything great, was never anyone well know. But he showed me alot about life and what it meant to be a man. Thanks Dad. Feel free to give a shout out or thank you to anyone as well.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Thank you to all the soldiers out there in the hotspots of the world, defending the very freedoms we have today, like the freedom to post on this website.

Thank you to all who are or have served - your sacrifices are truly appreciated!

Thank you to those who fight for freedom and not the wrong reasons. Much love to all the POW and MIA. You will never be forgotten.

I had this e-mail for awhile, but opted to wait until Memorial Day to pass it along.....

This was done by a teenager!

There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on 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.

It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos, (all angles) of the rock. The flag that is draped over the rock is not real. It's actually painted on the rock also.
