PICTURES OF VETERANS Please feel free to e-mail (webmaster@thankourvets.com) more pictures of our veterans to be added to this album. This is for all of the people of our military during peace or war.

I'm told that 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. The artist is Ray Sorenson. Thank you Ray for an excellent tribute to those who serve. If you would like to see other patriotic paint schemes that have covered this rock known as 'Freedom Rock' and directions to view it in person go to this website http://www.ticz.com/homes/users/bob/On-A-Rock/On-A-Rock.htm

VA-22 was designated July 1, 1959 from VA-63. Since then it has been redesignated as VFA-22. However, the pride of being part of this squadron will live on forever. More information on the history of VA-22 can be obtained at www.skyhawk.org/3E/va22/va22.htm
