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.

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.
