Honoring Lt. Colonel Dan Rooney with a Life-Size Bronze Statue

At Bronze-Depot.com, Inc., we are honored to bring to life a project that celebrates courage, leadership, and service. We are creating a life-size bronze statue of Lt. Colonel Dan Rooney, the visionary fighter pilot, PGA Professional, and founder of Folds of Honor.

This powerful tribute is more than just a statue—it is a lasting symbol of sacrifice, legacy, and hope for military and first responder families across America. Once complete, the statue will stand proudly at Folds of Honor headquarters in Owasso, Oklahoma, serving as a reminder of the extraordinary vision and dedication of Lt. Colonel Rooney and the mission he built.

The Mission of Folds of Honor

Founded in 2007, Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled U.S. service members and first responders.

  • To date, the foundation has awarded nearly 62,000 scholarships, representing more than $290 million in support.

  • Families in all 50 states have benefitted from this mission.

  • Each scholarship represents not only financial help but also hope for a brighter future.

Lt. Colonel Rooney’s leadership has transformed thousands of lives, and this bronze tribute will serve as a permanent celebration of that legacy.

Blending Tradition with Innovation

At Bronze Depot, we combine the ancient lost-wax bronze casting method—refined for over 6,000 years—with today’s cutting-edge technology.

  • We use 3-D scanning to capture the exact likeness and detail of our subjects.

  • These scans are transformed into molds, which are then cast in bronze.

  • The result: breathtaking statues that capture not only physical detail but also the spirit and presence of those we honor.

This process ensures the artistry of the past meets the precision of the future, producing works of art that will inspire for generations.

A Tribute Beyond Measure

The Lt. Colonel Dan Rooney statue is not just about honoring one man—it’s about what he represents:

  • Service and sacrifice for country and community.

  • Leadership and vision that empower others.

  • A legacy of hope, carried on through Folds of Honor.

Every detail of this bronze work is designed to reflect Lt. Colonel Rooney’s character and impact, standing as a lasting tribute at Folds of Honor headquarters.
