It has become known as The Freedom Rock® and he repaints it each year in time for Memorial Day. Since painting the original Freedom Rock®, Sorensen has been on a mission to create a Freedom Rock® in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. He has completed a Freedom Rock® in all of the Western Iowa Tourism Region counties except for Montgomery and Palo Alto which have been booked but are yet to be completed.

  • Remembering Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos by Sichan Siv 06/06/2010 Spring 2010 Marks the 35Th Anniversary of the Fall of Cambodia and South Vietnam to Communism
    Human Events Leading Conservative Media since 1944 Remembering Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos by Sichan Siv 06/06/2010 Spring 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of Cambodia and South Vietnam to communism. In a recent speech at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor, Mich., to commemorate the sad anniversary, I mentioned a pivotal date: April 10, 1975. While in Cambodia, I listened to President Ford’s address to the joint session of Congress through the Voice of America. My heart sank when I heard him say: “The situation in South Vietnam and Cambodia has reached a critical phase requiring immediate and positive decisions by this government. The options before us are few and the time is very short.” I quoted this in my memoir Golden Bones (HarperCollins, 2008). In his recently published book An American Amnesia (Beaufort Press, 2010), Bruce Herschensohn speaks to this date more extensively, including President Ford’s request for “Congress to appropriate without delay $722 million for emergency military assistance and an initial sum of $250 million for economic and humanitarian aid for South Vietnam.” Herschensohn concludes his quotes with the following paragraphs from Ford’s speech: “In Cambodia, the situation is tragic. And yet, for the past three months, the beleaguered people of Phnom Penh have fought on, hoping against hope that the United States would not desert them, but instead provide the arms and ammunition they so badly needed. In January, I requested food and ammunition for the brave Cambodians, and I regret to say that as of this evening, it may soon be too late… Let no potential adversary believe that our difficulties or our debates mean a slackening of our national will.
