Get A Lone Sailor Statue In Your Community The Lone Sailor© statue was dedicated along with the United States Navy Memorial on October 13, 1987. The Naval Heritage Center opened adjacent to the Navy Memorial in 1991 and the next year The Homecoming© statue was dedicated and placed on the Quarterdeck entrance to the center. Ten years after the dedication of the original Lone Sailor statue, the idea of "reaching out" to other communities with the beautiful bronze statues occurred. The first of these was The Lone Sailor© dedicated at Recruit Training Center in Great Lakes, IL in 1997. The first of The Homecoming© statues outside the nation's capitol was dedicated in San Diego, CA in 1998. Since then, many more communities have expressed interest in obtaining statues. Currently 12 Lone Sailor statues and four Homecoming statues have been placed throughout the country.
