Sac County Freedom Rock

—— Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II — —



The Stories of the Sac County, Iowa Freedom Rock




John J. Wassom flew 76 missions over Europe from 1943 - 1945



Western Union delivered telegraphs to millions of family members.



Two Navajo Indians (Code Whisperers) carry an injured soldier, Harlan Woehl, several miles for medical assistance. The Code Whisperers played a pivotal role insuring that messages were secure.



Silhouettes of the six Bachman brothers of Auburn symbolize the brothers, classmates, friends and neighbor serving our military at any given times.




Gerald McKeen, a Sac City graduate, joined the Navy to get medical training. McKeen died in the Vietnam War while heroically helping wounded soldiers.




The tunnel rat reminds us that wars are waged in unfamiliar terrain.

While honoring our women veterans, this is also a tribute to the mothers, wives, and daughters supporting our troops.


Ashes from two veterans are mixed into the point to create the American Flag draping over the tops and side.

Appearing to be engraved in the rock, the POW/MIA mural honors missing veterans and veterans imprisoned on foreign soil.

Sac County Freedom Rock Artist, Ray "Bubba" Sorensen II.
