information
The soldier is alone... as he is never
alone in battle.
The weight of all he has seen and
done, of the pain he has borne and the trials he
has overcome bear down on his broad shoulders.
The soldier's personal war is over: he is
Heading Home.
I did not choose to show the
warrior's face in my painting of the homecoming
veteran. The hero of Heading Home is not
an individual at all; he is the essence of the
American soldier. We cannot tell whether he
returns from Normandy, from Saigon, from Beirut.
In a sense, he has spilled his blood on all those
fields of honor.
Like all of us, the soldier walks
the path of his life and finds himself under God's
watchful eye, alone. He is bathed in a golden
light that can only be called "heavenly." Like
all God's children, his ultimate destination is a
heavenly home, where he can know the sweet peace
of divine love.
We cannot know whether he is
Heading Home to hearth and family, to the
pleasures of domestic love and a joyful reunion,
or whether he may be returning instead to the
bliss of heaven, which is the perfection of those
earthly pleasures.
We can only wish him a joyful
homecoming, and say a sublime word of thanks to
the hero's of every generation!
-Thomas Kinkade
