Listen to this awesome song at this link, so fitting!

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.
