Have you seen a massive rock painted with a Veteran theme in Iowa? How about two of them? How about more? Is there something bigger behind the trend? It turns out, the Iowa artist started the project when he was 19 to honor veterans. Now every country in Iowa has one.

Artist and veteran advocate Ray “Bubba” Sorensen shares the powerful story behind his Freedom Rock Tour—99 hand-painted tributes to veterans across Iowa. Inspired by a film depicting the horrors of war, Sorensen’s mission grew from a single heartfelt mural into a nationwide movement honoring American heroes through art and storytelling.
