Take Me Home Huey: Honoring American Heroes Through Art - Steve Maloney - Bog

"Take Me Home Huey is the moving chronicle of visionary artist Steve Maloney's mission to honor Vietnam veterans 50 years after the war's end, by resurrecting a shattered medevac helicopter that was shot down on Valentine's Day 1969 and dramatically transforming it into a traveling memorial. The book documents how the sculpture evolved into a touchstone for solace and connection among veterans, including some with PTSD. Drawing on a lifetime of creativity, in-depth conversations with survivors of the doomed Huey, others who served in the helicopter war, therapists, and historians, Maloney has crafted a stirring tribure to the unsung heroes of one of the nation's most controversial conflicts. The book is the culmination of a multimedia project that also includes an Emmy-winning film and an original song" -- Page [4] of cover.
