The Freedom Rock is a large (approx. 60+ ton) boulder located in rural Iowa that is repainted every year with a different Thank You for our nations Veterans to honor their service to our country.
The artist, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II, was inspired by the movie Saving Private Ryan, as well as, wanting to give Veterans a unique recognition on Memorial Day. Photos from my hometown’s KCCI television.
Thanks to the numerous readers and relatives who sent this to me.

From our friends at Legion Firearms. They are some great folks and big supporters of our military.
Though Memorial Day should be a sober time to remember our fallen, celebrate their lives and decorate their final resting places, it has also evolved into a day second only to Veteran’s Day when it comes to remembering all of those who have served this Nation.
Two of the founding three Legion Firearms staff are combat-disabled veterans. Over a third of our full-time employees are veterans. As one might expect, all of us have friends, family and comrades we will remember this Memorial Day weekend and we urge everyone to remember the little things—do more than make a Facebook post or send a patriotic Tweet. Anyone can do that. Not everyone will go to the cemetery and plant flags, or visit the local VFW and American Legion and give your regards. Ensure your children, friends and coworkers know the history and intention of the holiday.
Legion will be having a Memorial Day Weekend sale beginning Friday morning 24 MAY 13 and lasting until midnight Monday 27 MAY 13. The sale will remain valid on all items as long as they remain in stock. Shipping is free for any order over $100.
