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 inFort 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 dottedBaghdad. | | | | |
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..
