DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
OR WHERE THIS IS?
This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, Now home to the 4th Infantry division It will eventually
be shipped home And put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood , Texas .
The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make
the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad .
Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country;He melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam
and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors.
Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.
To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort
as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.
Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news?
Because it is heart warming and praise worthy..
The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect.
But we can do something about it.
We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who gave their utmost.
