On this week's episode, Wags is joined by Ray and Maria Sorensen - the couple behind The Freedom Rock in Iowa. The Freedom Rock is a mural painted on large rocks and boulders across the state of Iowa, honoring and paying tribute to our nation's veterans. They share how the idea of The Freedom Rock originated and how it turned into a state-wide tour. We also chat about growing up in a small Midwest town, Greek heritage, getting into state politics, and teaching their kids about America in today's culture.
