“LET’S
GO!”
In 2002 the local chapter of the 82nd Airborne Association asked
Judith to design a sculpture for a possible Air Force/ Airborne memorial exhibit
at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia - a short distance from Roanoke.
The result was
“Let’s Go!”, an action snapshot in which paratroopers have just
landed and are preparing to move out to engage the enemy.
The
maquette design was met with enthusiasm by the veterans. Unfortunately,
the national 82nd Airborne Association did not follow through and the funds were
never raised.
Above
is a photo rendering of how the full-size sculpture would have looked in place
at the D-Day Memorial. Below is a broader rendering, showing the sculpture (right)
with a C-47 drop plane in the background.
