THE STATUE

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.


 

In  Honor Of All Our Brave Military

 Who Are Making A  Difference.
