This statuecurrently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry Division.
It will 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.
