![]() The Freedom Rock Ray “Bubba” Sorenson is a muralist from Iowa who is giving a new canvas to veterans across the nation. The Freedom Rock is a 60+ ton boulder located in rural Iowa that is repainted every year with a new tribute to our nation’s veterans. Sorenson is not commissioned to paint the rock, but with the help of generous donations he is able to tell our nation’s bravest “Thank you!” with a different painting every year. Sorenson is currently on The Freedom Rock Tour where he is spreading his message by painting freedom rocks in all 99 counties across Iowa. The tour is predicted to conclude in the fall of 2020, but Sorenson plans to keep going until there’s a painted freedom rock in all 50 states giving thanks to every veteran that has fought for this country. www.TheFreedomRock.com |
