Description
Take Me Home Huey: Honoring American Heroes Through Art is the moving story of visionary artist Steve Maloney’s mission to honor Vietnam veterans by resurrecting a shattered medevac helicopter that was shot down on Valentine’s Day 1969, and dramatically transforming it into a traveling sculptural memorial to honor those who served.
The book documents, through stunning photographs and Maloney’s narrative, how the artwork evolved from a wish to honor Vietnam service members 50 years after the war’s end into a touchstone for solace and connection among veterans, including some with PTSD.
Interviews throughout the unique narrative provide vital context for the multi-media work. Readers will hear from the former medevac crewmen, other veterans of the helicopter war, PTSD survivors, art therapists, and historians, as well as journalist Joe Galloway, the official spokesperson of the national Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration.
The book is the perfect capstone of this groundbreaking multimedia project that includes the sculpture, as well as an Emmy award-winning film and an original song.
