New Freedom Rock welcome center unveiled

    EARLING -- Weighing in at 16 tons, the Shelby County Freedom Rock stands in Earling thanks to the efforts of the Earling’s American Legion Post #615.
    The rock was dedicated as one of 42 Iowa Freedom Rocks painted by Iowa native, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II. Originally inspired by the movie Saving Private Ryan and yearning to give veterans a special recognition, he began painting the boulders. Sorensen wants to paint one rock per county until he has one in all 99.
