FREEDOM ROCK
The Freedom Rock is a powerful tribute to U.S. military veterans, initiated by Iowa artist Ray "Bubba" Sorensen II. In 1999, inspired by the film Saving Private Ryan, Sorensen painted a 12-foot, 60-ton boulder near Menlo, Iowa, transforming it into a patriotic mural honoring veterans. Since then, he has repainted the original Freedom Rock annually before Memorial Day, each time featuring new artwork to honor different veterans and military themes .

Building on this success, Sorensen launched the 50 State Freedom Rock Tour, with the goal of creating a Freedom Rock in every U.S. state. Through these endeavors, Sorensen continues to honor veterans nationwide, using his art to tell their stories and ensure their sacrifices are remembered .
