In this poignant painting, a soldier stands alone, yet he's never truly alone in the battles he's faced. The burden of all his experiences, the pain he's endured, and the trials he's overcome weigh heavily on his broad shoulders. His personal war is over, and he's 'Heading Home'.
In this artwork of the homecoming veteran, the warrior's face isn't shown. The hero of 'Heading Home' isn't just an individual; he represents the very essence of the American soldier. We can't tell if he's returning from Normandy, Saigon, or Beirut. In a way, he's shed his blood on all those honorable battlefields.
Like each of us, the soldier walks his life's path under God's watchful eye, sometimes feeling alone. He's bathed in a golden, almost heavenly light. Just like all of God's children, his ultimate destination is a heavenly home where he can experience the sweet peace of divine love.
We don't know if he's 'Heading Home' to his family and the joys of domestic life or to the bliss of heaven, which is the perfect version of those earthly pleasures. All we can do is wish him a happy homecoming and express our deepest gratitude to the heroes of every generation!
