Vietnam POWs Homecoming 50th Anniversary Sculpture

Sheer jubilation fills every face in this photo taken more than 50 years ago. The vintage shot captures the exact moment the aircraft dubbed the "Hanoi Taxi" broke contact with Vietnamese soil in March of 1973 on one of its historic Flights to Freedom. Its cargo was precious - America's long-absent service members breathing their first free air after enduring captivity, some for several years. They were coming home at last. Now, with this Vietnam POWs sculpture, there is a gleaming new way to recognize our heroes, their unsurpassed patriotism and their long-awaited return to the United States. Introducing the Operation Homecoming: 50th Anniversary Sculpture, a limited edition available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange.

Standing eight inches high, this handcrafted commemorative features a genuine glass panel showcasing the iconic black-and-white image of former Vietnam POWs, hand-applied to retain every emotionally charged detail of the original. Backed by the patriotic red, white and blue of Old Glory, a golden medallion-shaped interpretation of the "Three's In" patch gleams with meaning as the "missing man" rejoins the formation. Beside the panel, an intricately sculpted eagle stands proudly in antiqued gold and bronze tones - as if saluting these extraordinary American veterans. The panel's beveled styling and golden trim continue through to the handsome mahogany-finished base, which features a brass plaque stating, "FLIGHT TO FREEDOM". This eagle sculpture is sure to make a bold addition to your home decor and a touching military gift. Intense demand is anticipated, so don't delay. Order now!
