~~~ A Remarkable Statue ~~~
I for one am thankful for the power of the Internet. I would never see this in or on any of this country's main media outlets.
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 America's 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 comrades in arms.
Do
you know why we don't hear about this in the news? 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 are making a difference.So, please pass this on!
