Description: A beautiful, heavy and small bronze sculpture featuring a fallen soldier and angel. This bronze casting is from the Nebraska artist Sondra Jonson of S.L. Jonson Studios and a smaller work for her "Going Home" line -- I've included photos of the 11-foot tall memorial statue commissioned as part of Norfolk, Nebraska's Sculpture Walk, made in memory of Staff Sergeant Robb L. Rolfing, a Special Forces Green Beret killed in combat operations in Iraq in 2007 but serving as a monument to all fallen soldiers from Sioux Falls, S.D. (where Rolfing was from). The artist statement for "Going Home"My vision for the artwork took shape when I read these words of Scripture:"He will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces" (Is 25:8)"…and this mortal shall have put on immortality" (1Cor. 15:4) At first glance, this artwork illustrates the last journey of one of America's finest sons. Although the figure carrying the fallen soldier to Heaven is angelic, she is also the symbol of God's great love and mighty power—power that conquers even death. About Sondra JonsonSondra L.
