What is it? See below the photo.........

Something every American should see.

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 
 a flashed breast or the controversy politics does.    

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!
