[BITList] Remarkable statue

    God Bless America!!!!!!

    *Remarkable Statue*

    I for one, am thankful for the power of the Internet. I would never
    see this in or on any of this country's main media outlets. Shame on
    them.

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

    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 America 's 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 comrades in arms.

    Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news? 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.

    And please pass this on!
