The Statue

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS IS? 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 , TX

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 are making a difference.

And
please pass this
on!
