American Treasure: How Norman Rockwell Saved American Legion Post 193

After owning an iconic and highly important Norman Rockwell painting for close to 50 years, the E.M. Connor Post 193 American Legion of Winchendon in Massachusetts has decided to consign at Heritage Auctions.
Due to declining membership and the need for major improvements to the Post, the time has come to sell "Home for Thanksgiving" -- a gut-wrenching but necessary decision. The Post building is not only a home for Veterans, Sons of the Legion and Auxiliary, it is widely used by the various organizations within the Winchendon community.
There is a certain sense of poetry, of life coming full circle, as present-day military heroes part with an endearingly patriotic depiction of a World War II military hero. May this painting bring as much excitement and joy to the new owner as it did to the Winchendon American Legion.
