"Soldiers make a profession of traveling to
foreign lands and fighting battles for country,
honor and to protect our way of life. But every
battle must come to an end and with it the rejoicing
of soldiers finally coming home. It's a glorious and
joyous event when the troops return to their
families and loved ones.
In this scene, I envision a simple country
setting containing all the elements of home that
soldiers from every branch of the military have
always fought for, regardless of their place in
history. This is my tribute to all the men and women
who have ever served in the military - for those who
have unselfishly sacrificed everything for this
great country.
My own father came home triumphantly after his
generation's war. World War II was a time of
extraordinary service and yet great rejoicing as the
soldiers made their way home to neighborhoods, towns
and cities throughout the country. In today's world,
our hope is that our soldiers will be coming home
soon as well, and that their homecoming will be as
joyous as the one depicted in 'Homecoming Hero.' "
- Thomas Kinkade
