THIS IS GREAT! and something every American should see. Be sure to read the information below.....
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 that a flashed breast or controversy of politics does

This is beautiful - thanks for posting it.
Dude, were you the only person nto to see that story, It was EVERYWHERE when it came out(TIME, Newsweek, NYTimes, even the Mil J/S.). That was almost two years ago, too. Really, you need to take the hit on this one....
I think many people will admit they have not seen this...I do have a life and cant read every article either.
It was everywherre, though. It doesnt matter how many people didnt see it. Your headline runs that the MSM doesnt run stories like this.
I liked this Game. I showed it to several people who had not heard about it either. They LOVED it! People NEED to hear the good things. (I'm usually way too busy with my professional obligations to read or watch much news at all. This fall has been the exception to that :))
