THE STATUE

  
 
Thank you Fritz & Helen

I checked this out at TruthorFiction.com. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/k/kalat.htm  It's true.

DO YOU  KNOW WHAT THIS IS?  OR WHERE THIS IS?

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 , 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.

We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who are making  a difference.
 
Please pass this on!
