The Montgomery County Freedom Rock, located in Red Oak, IA, is a tribute to our nation's Veterans. Established in 1999, this annual tradition involves artist Ray "Bubba" Sorensen II repainting a large boulder with a unique message of gratitude to honor the Veterans' service to the country.
Inspired by the movie "Saving Private Ryan," Sorensen paints The Freedom Rock each year with the help of donations from generous supporters, family, and friends. What started in rural Iowa has now expanded to include a smaller Freedom Rock in each of Iowa's 99 counties along with a 50 State Freedom Rock Tour.
As an Iowa Legislator, Sorensen also spends time at the State Capitol during the legislative session, showcasing his dedication to honoring Veterans through his art. The Montgomery County Freedom Rock stands as a symbol of appreciation for our nation's heroes and serves as a unique way to thank them for their sacrifice and service.
