Freedom Rock Painter Presents at The Village at Legacy Pointe

Waukee, Iowa (December 9, 2015) — Veterans, residents and guests at The Village at Legacy Pointe in Waukee enjoyed a recent visit from Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II, well known for his project, Freedom Rock.

Sorensen spoke to the group about the inspiration behind the project that began by painting one large — approximately 60 ton — boulder in rural Iowa with a Thank You message for our nation’s veterans.

Each year since, he has painted the rock with a new mural. The program has expanded, and Sorensen has plans to include a Freedom Rock in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.

“What a wonderful story of taking action on inspiration,” said Tammy Olson, Executive Director at The Village at Legacy Pointe. “It’s a mission that has touched so many veterans.”

“What a kind-hearted and talented young man,” said Eugene Lankford, veteran and resident at The Village at Legacy Pointe.
