"Going Home" sculpted by Sondra Johnson of Nebraska. I hadn't planned on posting this one until July 4th as a sort of tribute to Independence Day. When I looked at this sculpture in person I thought how powerful and moving it was, and how much it would mean to those who have lost loved ones in wars. I didn't realize that the next day it would hit so close to home. My parents got a phone call Sunday telling them that their good friends son had been killed in combat in Iraq. It had been his second tour of duty over there, having already survived the first one. So I post this in tribute to him and to all who have lost loved ones serving in the military.
