Royal Palace
Why is this Rock on the Wall?
Colonel McCormick chose the rock form the Royal palace Stockholm Sweden to represent the first amendment of the United States of America. Specifically the right to freedom of press. Being a man of the press, Colonel McCormick would have appreciated the struggle that the people of Sweden went through to achieve that right.
